This set of three volumes is not just a compilation of essays in Honour of Professor Ashok Kumar Dutt, it personifies his life as a person and a professional. Prof. Dutt has established his international credentials as the leading exponent of urban and regional planning and has enriched both its theory and practice by his brilliant ideas and practical insights. His contributions in the areas of urban, social, cultural, medical, population, economic and development geography as well as in urban and regional development planning in India and abroad are very extensive and praiseworthy. These volumes reflect the spirit of Prof. Dutt's work and philosophy. Volume one, containing thirty-two papers, provides an understanding of urban structure and problems ranging from national to the local level. Explaining the patterns and processes of urban network and systems in China, India and Korea, it discusses at length the evolution and characteristics of regional urbanization in Africa, India and Ohio.
