Economic Geography Approach to Regional Planning

Dr. Amit Kapoor was a panellist at the Connect Karo 2021 organised by World Resource Institute, India on September 14, 2021. He shared his views on “Economic Geography Approach to Regional Planning”. Metropolitan areas are the new growth centres where the focus needs to be this decade. The session will present its analysis of the economic geography study of the Delhi National Capital Region (Delhi-NCR) based on population, economic census and geo-spatial data.
