Abstract
Contemporary metropolitan planning is a dynamic and evolving process in which population movements, economic fluctuations, and social dynamism play a crucial role. The metropolitan growth of population indicates that unplanned spatial expansion covering fringe areas and the development of satellite towns around these cities is inevitable in the future. Indian metropolises are in a stage of massive urban transition as mega industrial corridors are emerging in a big way. Due to the effect of globalization, liberalization, and privatization, the Indian economy is oriented towards a gradual structural transformation. This chapter gives stresses on Indian metropolitan growth since the last century and analyses their situations in the light of the achievements made under various new government initiatives like Smart Cities Mission, National Rurban Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), Housing for All (Urban), and National Urban Livelihood Missions (NLUM), etc. The study also focuses on the contemporary metropolitan development in India and traces the economic and spatial restructuring of peripheral areas of metropolitan cities as part of economic liberalization.
