  1. Kala Seetharam Sridhar Public Affairs Centre Bangalore Conference on the 21st Century Indian City: Towns, Metros and the Indian Economy University of California Berkeley and Indian Institute of Human Settlements Bangalore March 26, 2013 Suburbanization of India’s Cities

  2. Presentation Overview • General and b-suburbanization • Theory • Bangalore and other cities’ suburbanization • Estimated and calculated density gradients for India’s cities • Determinants of population and employment suburbanization • Policy implications

  3. Suburbanization of Population and Jobs in India, 1981-2001 Sources: Sridhar (2007), 2001 Census PCA and author’s analyses

  4. Population Suburbanization in India’s Metropolitan Areas, 1981-01 Sources: Sridhar (2007), 2001 Census PCA and author’s analyses

  5. Suburbanization: Theoretical Framework • Standard exponential population density function • Gradient
