印度的城乡差别似乎特别明显，特别是根据印度人口普查提供的官方数字，这些数字在很大程度上取决于定居点的行政地位。印度是世界上最具活力和人口最多的国家之一，其官方城市化率仍远远落后于其他发展中经济体。为了调查印度城市化的程度，本文开发了一种多步骤的方法，使用专门为确定印度城市结构而设计的指标。本文重点介绍了大都市区排名和大城市群两个指标的概念和空间分析。结合这些指标的方法，然后允许确定城市宏观结构作为一个更大的组织框架，在区域空间。我们的研究结果显示，随着时间的推移，许多不同的功能区已经发展出特定的城市形态。有些地区特别突出的是城市大头症、星云状的小定居点、城市蔓延等。
Urban–rural differences seem particularly pronounced in India, especially when based on the official figures provided by the Census of India, which are heavily dependent on the administrative status of settlements. India, one of the world’s most dynamic and populous countries, still possesses an official urbanisation rate lagging well behind other developing economies. To investigate the extent of Indian urbanisation, this article develops a multi-step methodology using indicators specifically conceived for identifying urban structures in India. In this article, an emphasis is given to the conception and to the spatial analysis of two indicators: metropolitan ranking and meta-agglomerations. A method combining these indicators then allows identifying urban macro-structures acting as a larger organising framework in the regional space. Our results show a multitude of different functional areas that have developed specific urban morphologies over time. Some are particularly marked by high values of urban macrocephaly, small settlements taking the shape of nebulae, urban sprawl, etc.
