Significance of National Spatial Planning for Economic Development of Secondary Cities in India: Critical Analysis of JNNURM Programme

Secondary cities are the vital economic link along with megacities in the system of cities of a nation. Whereas spatial planning and local economic development are the major factors in fostering the regional and national economic development. If the national spatial planning strategies failed to im...

Therefore, it was suggested that the Indian government should also initiate spatial planning strategies and programmes for the local economic development of sub-national secondary cities to achieve dual benefits: balanced regional and national economic development and balanced system of cities.
