The aim of this course is to acquaint the students with the general concept and context of urban geography and to enable them not only to grasp the theoretical implications as spatial dimension of the urban pattern but also to underline the links with the abstract socio-economic space. The course also aims to lay down the urban spatial basis for reinterpretation of subjects taken up in economic, social and political courses in urban context, in inter-urban system of cities and also intra-urban analysis involving processes going on in cities.
