INTERNAL MIGRATION AND URBANIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF NCR

The desirability of migration esp., internal migration has often been at the centre of debate of urban geography. The paper has attempted to make a holistic study of internal migration including its pros and cons in the NCR and its impact on urbanisation. The primacy of internal migration in any urbanisation policy has been addressed. The burgeoning growth of NCR due to daily influx of migrants from different parts of the country has added to the woes of the urban problems. As a result new trends in urbanisation are being witnessed viz., suburbanisation, urban renewal, gentrification etc.
