This is the first book which established the relationship between 'Regional Planning' and 'Sustainable Development', specially in the context of Indian economy. This book presents the view that without considering the regional dimensions and sustainability real development would be an impossible task. It presents measurements and factors of inter-state disparities and relationship between urbanisation, environment and agricultural planning with balanced and sustainable development. It also presents significance and methodological issues pertaining to balanced and sustainable development. The text of this book proves that even growth of different regions is essential for achieving objectives of national planning. The wide coverage of this volume will be useful for academicians, researchers, planners and administrators.
