Urban Mobility Development in Northeast India theoretically and empirically explores the interrelationship between and among city, transportation, economic growth and environment to contribute towards engendering green urbanization for green growth. In a time of aggravating environmental crisis, the book recognizes the duality of contrasting impact of city and transport to economic development and environmental degradation. To serve as a guide for policy research, the book accessibly presents a contextual study blending qualitative as well as quantitative methodology in the context of a highland as well as a frontier capital city of the Northeastern Indian state of Nagaland, Kohima, towards creating a sustainable city with an inclusive and green mobility. The book underscores that management of urbanization and urban mobility challenges should go beyond supply side management and demand side management by democratizing policy making as well as considering efficiency, equity, welfare and practicality concerns and suchlike rationales. By traversing from abstraction to everyday life, from global context to frontier context and from macro level to micro level, the book makes significant theoretical as well as empirical contribution. The book will be of use to students, researchers, policy practitioners as well as general readers interested in Urban Studies, Transport Economics, Growth Economics, Development Studies, Environmental Studies and Asian Studies, especially in relation to highland and frontier regions in developing economies in general and Northeastern Region of India in particular.

Towns are the focal points of trade and administration. Administrative compulsions, economic and commercial necessities influence the location and development of towns. Strategic requirements also determine the setting up of new and small towns. New towns in North East India are over grown villages; trading centres with some rural development administrative outfits which become urban settlements. Most of the urban centres do not enjoy modern sanitation facilities, portable and safer water supply. Urban centre in North East India numbering 195 (1991) are like slum like situation with no civic amenities, education, health care, and modern sanitation facilities. There is hardly any agricultural surplus to sustain the urban life and social development. Social and economic compulsions lead people to migrate in urban centres where bulk of people live in dire poverty. These small towns do not have much scope and potentiality for genuine growth. They grow when Government administrative machinery expands. For their growth as vibrating life centres. North East India’s economy must be expanded with Agricultural surplus to sustain urban development. Appropriate steps must be taken to streamline the management structure by abolishing the system of multiplicity of authorities for urban planning and its execution.
