This talk examines urban primacy in Indian states, exploring its extent, underlying causes, and whether improved infrastructure can mitigate it. It discusses the policy approaches of South Indian states toward primacy, assessing whether dispersing industry and jobs to smaller cities can reduce urban concentration, and how best to achieve this. My research shows that MSME (Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises) employment has a positive effect on urban concentration, while rail route length has negative effect. A survey of firms in primate cities reveals that operational costs, as opposed to investment costs, are significantly higher in Hyderabad and Bengaluru compared to Chennai. I conclude with policy recommendations to address urban primacy. The talk draws upon examples from my new book Indian Cities or Suburbs (Oxford University Press, 2025)
The talk will be moderated by Xuefei Ren (Professor of Sociology).
This talk is sponsored by the Dept of Sociology and Asian Studies Center.
