"The present empirical work - with clearly specified theoretical bases and reference points in actual social problems, theory, public policy, and planning - explores some well-established rural-urban linkages. . . . The study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of various models of migration in the context of regional growth. . . . The real strength and high point of this research study is a detailed analysis of the flow of remittances in both directions resulting from migration. It means the author visualised the value of both the spread and backwards effect in the financial sphere. . . . She has really made a valiant attempt to arrive at a meaningful understanding. It is a study the type of which, may be in conjunction with that of local politics, need to be carried out in many different settings involving large cities and their hinterlands." --Indian Journal of Public Administration What role, if any, do remittances from rural populations play in regional development? In this cogent study, the author provides valuable empirical evidence in relation to existing theories and models on migration. By correlating migrancy to various variables relating to jobs, the growth of squatters, and the increase in the per capita cost of providing civic amenities, the author clearly shows how the Harris-Todaro model of migration can be used in the physical planning of a new town. A significant feature of this impressive study is that it provides, for the first time, empirical evidence concerning the different types of linkages (particularly, migration and remittances) from an urban center. It not only highlights the shortcomings in the existing database but provides an excellent methodological framework for conducting large-scale surveys. Migration and Remittances will interest all those involved with development economics, urban studies, regional planning, geography, housing, and economic theory. "For those seeking a detailed empirical study of migration and remittances in India, this book contains much useful material. . . . There is much empirical work upon which those concerned with these themes can draw." --Urban Studies
