预计21世纪不仅将见证人口的持续增长，还将见证更多的城市化。据估计，在一代人的时间内，发展中国家的大多数人口将居住在城市地区，发展中国家的城市居民数量将翻一番，增加20多亿居民(世界银行(2000))。印度也不例外。到2020年，大约50%的人口，或者说大约6亿人可能是城市居民。这些数字表明，我们需要更多地了解城市发展的过程及其对城市居民生活的影响，特别是城市化对贫困和贫民窟的影响。
The 21st century is expected to witness not only sustained population growth but also more urbanization. Within a generation, it has been estimated that the majority of the developing world’s population will live in urban areas, and that the number of urban residents in developing countries will double, increasing by over two billion inhabitants (World Bank (2000). India is no exception. Some 50% of the population, or around 600 million people, may be residents in urban areas by 2020. These figures suggest that we need to know more about the process of urban development and its effect on urban residents’ lives, especially the impact of urbanization on poverty and slums.
