Abstract

[The National Capital Region,National Capital Region-Delhi, The (NCR, Delhi) in India is one of the first and foremost examples of extensive regional planning efforts in South Asia, created with the goal of containing the growth of the core, while controlling and regulating the development of the surrounding region for sustainability. A hybridHybridity and evolving urban-rural region, the NCR, can thus be considered a laboratory for both theoretical and empirical exploration. The uneven urban-rural linkagesUrban-rurallinkages, flows and traits, produced by exogenous and endogenous forces, that characterize the urban-rural interfaceUrban-ruralinterface of the city region are widely acknowledged; calls for holistically examining these, at localized or micro-scales for targeted planning purposes, are rising. In this chapter, I incorporate aspects of my tri-pronged approachTri-pronged approach—the concurrent consideration of multidimensionalitMultidimensionalityy, urban-rural interface (URI), and scalar variations—in an exploratory study at a disaggregated observationalScaleobservational scale representing both urban and rural elements. I observe intra-regional variations and changes in urban-developmental patterns within the NCR vis-à-vis the NCR planning objectives. Principal Component and Cluster analyses are used to observe static structural patterns in 2001 and 2011, as well as changes that took place between the two periods.
