19. Competition - 1 Peri-Urban as new knowledge Centers:
Location of Tech Parks, Spl. Economic Zones at the outskirts of the city.
Spatial Competition (Peer Pressure), among
Within the city – Local Economic Development
Core and the periphery
The metro cities to attract FDI
The States within the country
Competing & Conflicting Landuses
Surat, Mumbai, Pune, Ludhiana and Jalandhar expand on environmentally sensitive land

20. Conflicts & Contestations - 2
Coflicts
Environmental Conflicts
Green field Developments
Eco insensitiveness of development process
Territoriality Conflicts
74th Constitutional Amendment Act not implemented – Gives power for forming Metropolitan Planning Committee
Adminstrative Conflicts
Corporation, Councils, Town Panchayats &
District Adminstration
Economic Conflicts
Location of Economic Activities at the periphery (SEZ, STPI, industrial estates, etc)
Revenue Loss to the Core
Social Conflicts
Rich settling down in the periphery – No more a degenerating periphery
Social segregation & Marginalisation in the periphery
