摘要：Concerns over India's dualistic patterns of urban-regional development and the complex issues surrounding them have been of concern for decades, and attracted much research interest, especially in the wake of the New Economic Policy of the 1990s. The current research, based on 13 selected states of India, explores the association of a number of developmental indicators with urbanization across three disaggregated size groups. Principal component analysis was used to extract four components followed by a cluster analysis to view the states' commonalities and differences. The findings are indicative of the perpetuation of past patterns as well as signs of a reconfiguration in the urban regional landscape of India, but must await further research.
