Introduction

This book attempts to analyse the causes and consequences of intracity residential mobility in the industrial city of Ludhiana, Punjab. This work is the first study of its kind on an Indian city.

Target Audience

Students and research workers in the fields of Urban Geography, Town Planning and Urban Sociology will find it very interesting and extremely useful since, instead of blindly adopting "Western model" and replicating "Western research schemes", here an attempt has been made to develop a theoretical model applicable to an Indian industrial city which can be tried out or modified to suit other cities of different classifications, thus eventually leading to a generalised growth model for Indian cities.
