Exploring peri-urban dynamism in India: Evidence from Kolkata Metropolis

Peri-urbanisation around metropolitan cities of India has been an emerging and apparent phenomenon in the last few decades. The peri-urban spaces, which are characterised by co-existence of urban and rural elements, are very dynamic in nature and undergoing continuous changes with regards to land us...
