There is a strong consensus that urbanisation is critically important to global development, but there is considerable confusion over what urbanisation actually is and how the ideas are to be conceived. Generally, urbanisation is tied up with economic and infrastructural advancement and thereby people preferred to stay at such places, resulting in large urban places, that we call metropolitan cities today. However, this idea need not hold true in all circumstances as there are other alternative models of urbanisation coming up. Kerala postulated a different model of urbanisation and it has now attracted the world by its urban agglomerations hitting the tag ‘world fastest growing’ in demographic terms. Therefore, the absence of polar urbanisation and the population-based urbanisation trend is the core of discussion in this paper. In addition, it compares the state patterns in urbanisation with those of metropolises in India. – Reproduced Urbanisation, Urban agglomeration, Census, Conurbation, Kerala. 33422 Nagarlok https://www.iipa.org.in/cms/public/uploads/112021658912567.pdf URBAN DEVELOPMENT AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 394667 IIPA IIPA 2022-09-27 54(2), Jun, 2022: p.1-18 AR127193 2022-09-27 AR
