BENGALURU - (urban growth)
Growth
Indias fastest-growing city
1970s
- relatively small, sustainable and
a green city
NOW
- focus on technology and the
knowledge economy
new economic opportunities for m/c
city also pulled poorer migrants in
from surrounding countryside
Political Process
1970s
- state government set aside a
piece of land outside Bengaluru for a high tech
business park -
'electronics city'
1990s
- IT and associated industries
rapidly expanded
government enticed overseas firms with
promises of...
1) low taxes
2) relaxed licensing laws
3) ending on limits of currency conversion
government has been proactive in tackling
some of the urban problems by:
investing in education
transport infrastructure
urban development areas
new suburban housing developments
Economic process

relies on people and their skills rather
than manufactured goods
largest job-creating city in India
capital of aeronautical, biotechnology,
electronics and defence industries
informal sector = low-wage local businesses
meeting the needs of high tech and
corporate workers
Social Process
gowing divide between m/c and those
at the bottom (the 'Dalits')
more skilled labour is pulled from outside
= increasing pressure on housing (change in
traditional housing patterns)
slums are a permanent feature of
urban life (less than 1/2 have access
to sanitation, clean water etc)
Technological process
cause and effect of urban growth
200 engineering colleges = highly-skilled
workforce which has supplied an educated,
skilled, cheap workforce
encouraged companies overseas to invest
(then reinvest in their workforce - e.g,
upskilling of employees in IT-specific skills)
growth in home-grown IT based
companies
Demographic
growing at a dramatic, unsustainable
rate
population in 2001 is double
what it was in 2019 (12.9 million)
increase in population due to an influx of
economic migrants
youthful age structure of migrants =
population growth
