Urbanisation trends and patterns in the North-Eastern region of India: A comparative perspective - Nagarlok: Quarterly journal of Urban Affairs - 57(3), Sep, 2025: p.261-277
This article analyses urbanisation trends in India’s North-Eastern Region (NER) in comparison with the national pattern. Urbanisation, a key driver of growth, has been slower in the NER than the national average, though states like Sikkim, Nagaland, and Tripura show notable progress due to improved infrastructure and policy support. The region’s cultural diversity and geographical isolation create both opportunities and challenges for balanced development. While urban growth is concentrated in a few states, others such as Assam and Meghalaya lag behind, highlighting the need for targeted, region-specific policies to address emerging urban challenges and promote inclusive development.-Reproduced
