5. What is meant by de-urbanisation? |
|
Answer» During the late eighteenth century, the presidential towns of Calcutta. Bombay and Madras rose to prominence as they became the centers of the British power and administration. At this time, many old towns which were manufacturing specialized goods like textiles began to decline. Many old port cities like Surat also declined in importance. People from these cities began to move to new emerging towns. This is known as the process of de-urbanisation. |
