520			_aThis is the third set of volumes in the well known series entitled Concept's International Series in Geography. This multi-volume set has a wide coverage under the title Perspectives in Urban Geography. The earlier two sets in the series were: Perspectives in Agricultural Geography and Perspectives in Geomorphology. Traditional studies on aspects of Urban Geography had been concentrating on observational records of developments of towns and cities till the subject came to acquire a behavioural approach recently. What resulted was a new matrix of philosophies, methodo- logies and their ingenious application to what had been researched through the years. The present set of volumes ventures to make a rigorous survey of the literature on Urban Geography after its reorientation as it were. Comparative Urbanization: City Growth and Change presents theoretical and illustrative papers which provide research encompassing a penetrating and incisive understanding of urbanization in the world. The processes and concomitants of urbanization in the developed countries, the developing countries, and, particularly in India, have been dealt with by eminent specialists in their contributions divided into three parts. What emerges is a comparative picture of urbanization and urbanism. Of special interest is the section on the Indian situation. Being different from the process of urbanization in the west, the Indian strides have to be looked at within the framework of their special parameters and needs. The papers presented here venture to do this in an excellent manner.
