This book studies the origins and development of population geography as a discipline. It explores the key concepts, tools and statistical and demographic techniques that are widely employed in the analysis of population. The chapters in this book:
Provide a comprehensive geographical account of population attributes in the world, with a particular focus on India;
Study the three major components of population change – fertility, mortality and migration – that have remained somewhat neglected in the study of human geography so far;
Examine the salient social, demographic and economic characteristics of population, along with topics such as size, distribution and growth of population;
Discuss major population theories, policies and population–development–environment interrelations, thus marking a significant departure from the traditional pattern-oriented approach.
Well supplemented with figures, maps and tables, this key text will be an indispensable read for students, researchers and teachers of human geography, demography, anthropology, sociology, economics and population studies.

The volume examines urbanization and migration trends and their patterns in the light of India''s emerging urban policy, planning and governance perspectives. It sheds light on the differences in urbanization between developed and less developed parts of the world, with a particular focus on India. It studies migration in general and rural to urban migration particular which plays a significant role in economic and urban transition. The chapters highlight important methodological issues in determining the nature of ‘urban’ and the magnitude of internal migration. Furthermore, the book presents the contributions of different factors to urban population growth, including natural increase, net rural-to-urban migration, and net rural-to-urban classification, to reflect the relationship between economic development and urbanization. It also elaborates on the regional economic disparities in India and its association with urbanization. The book elucidates the opportunities and challenges of urbanisation, presents explanations and perspectives from various theoretical and epistemological standpoints emphasising the role of a people centric inclusive urbanisation in sustainable development and human wellbeing. The book is aligned with SDG Goal 11, which emphasizes the need to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. It distinguishes between urban development policies focused solely on cities and their issues and urbanisation policies. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and teachers of city planning, urban development, and urban studies, as well as policymakers.
