Abstract
The slow growth of small towns and stagnation, decay and declassification of
several such towns in a period of rapid urbanization in India is a phenomenon which have
not received much attention from demographers or economic planners.
The slow growth, stagnation or decay of a large number of small towns is a phenomenon
which must be studied historically. The stagnation of small towns in the era of planned
industrialization and urbanization deserves serious attention from planners and policy
makers in India.
