| Summary, etc |
India is home to 7,935 cities and towns, of which 468 are classified as Class I cities, each with a population of 1 lakh or more. These Class I cities make up 70.30% of the total urban population of the country. Among them, 65 are metropolitan cities, characterized by populations exceeding 10 lakh. Medium towns, as per URDPFI guidelines (2014), have populations ranging between 50,000 and 5 lakh, while large cities are defined as those with populations between 5 lakh and 10 lakh. India’s urban landscape showcases remarkable diversity, from sprawling metropolises that serve as economic hubs to medium-sized towns with rich cultural and historical significance. The metropolitan cities drive economic growth, infrastructure development, and innovation, whereas medium and large cities play crucial roles in regional development. This varied classification underscores the dynamic structure of India's urban population and settlement patterns. – Reproduced |
