Exploring the relationship between colonization and urbanization, the central thesis is that (1) in the early years of British colonization in the Indian subcontinent, new urban developments ensured segregation between 'colonizer' and 'colonized', with the subjugation of the latter, while (2) later urbanism became more integrated under British Imperial rule. To examine this, a novel approach is taken, analyzing urban forms of colonial administrative towns in India and their development trajectories. Using 'town-plan analysis', a method advanced by 'Conzenian' urban morphologists using cartographic evidence as a base, the thesis will geographically extend current Eurocentric historico-morphological studies to the Indian sub-continent.

在探讨殖民化与城市化之间的关系时，中心论点是：（1）英国在印度次大陆殖民初期，新的城市发展确保了“殖民者”与“被殖民者”之间的隔离，并导致后者受到征服；（2）后来的城市化在英帝国统治下变得更加一体化。为了研究这一点，采用了一种新颖的方法，分析印度殖民行政城镇的城市形态及其发展轨迹。利用“城镇规划分析”（一种由“康泽尼派”城市形态学家以制图证据为基础提出的方法），本论文将在地理上将当前以欧洲为中心的历史形态学研究扩展到印度次大陆。
