ITPI journalSummary: Small and medium towns play an important role in country’s economic development as
they constitute 40 per cent of the total urban population as per Census 2011. Small and
medium urban centres have long been seen as potentially offering opportunities for regional
development encompassing urban and rural areas, people, and enterprises. Census 2021 figures
are not yet published; however, it is expected that more than half of the urban population
shall reside in small and medium towns. These towns especially in post pandemic times have
assumed much significance. With work from anywhere concept gathering momentum, these
towns are bound to grow and prosper. The paper broadly highlights the role of small and
medium towns as new drivers of development and how with planned development they can
redistribute the urban population in a metropolitan regional planning perspective.
