对2011年出现的新人口普查城镇进行的详细地理分析表明，新人口普查城镇的空间格局大体上遵循现有城市中心的格局。由此，城市集中度的力量进一步凸显。令人意想不到的是，加尔各答城市群周围的城市集中区已经向外延伸，这表明了这个衰落的大都市的永恒向心力。除了这个古老的城市集中地外，还出现了几个新的城市集中区，其中大多数集中在具有重大区域和全国重要性的中小城市。与城市集中的力量相反，新的人口普查城镇的出现也导致了城市的分散，尽管程度有限。该研究的结论是，为了使这种新兴的空间组织具有重要意义，有必要在新出现的(以及现有的)人口普查城镇中进行有效的城市治理和规划。
This detailed geographical analysis of the emergence of new census towns in 2011 reveals that, broadly, the spatial pattern of the new census towns follows the pattern of the existing urban centres. As a result, the force of urban concentration has been further accentuated. Quite expectedly the field of urban concentration around Kolkata urban agglomeration has been extended outward, which indicates the perpetuating centripetal force of the declining metropolis. Apart from this age-old location of urban concentration, several new pockets of urban concentration have emerged, of which the majority are centred by the small and medium cities with great regional and national importance. Contrary to the force of urban concentration, emergence of new census towns also resulted in, albeit to a limited extent, urban dispersal. The study concludes that, to make this emerging organization of space significant, it is necessary to have an effective urban governance and planning in the newly emerged (as well as existing) census towns.
