<br/><br/> Cities in India are divided into 3 typologies based on population, i.e., Tier - I, Tier - II<br/>and Tier - III. The importance of Tier - I is the most effective but the Tier - II cities<br/>are the “future mega cities” because the Tier - I cities have almost reached saturation<br/>and the level of life is deteriorating since the carrying capacity of those cities has<br/>been crossed. This paper deals with the importance of the Tier - II cities which have<br/>gained value and importance in the latest years because the scope for development<br/>in those Tier - II cities are far better than Tier - I cities (since Tier - I cities are more<br/>claustrophobic). The paper defends the Tier - II cities and puts forward possible reasons<br/>to support the existence and importance of Tier - II cities.
