WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The British occupied the Indian territory and political power by their military force. So they needed strong military camps and established the cantonments. The cantonments were thus an entirely new kind of urban centres. Army people began to live in these places and gradually they were grown up a city.

Detailed explanation-2: -The British introduced concepts of urban planning – based largely on emerging European ideals of health and sanitation: improved roads, spaciousness, order and beautification. They implemented these concepts most fully in the parts of the city in which they resided, and which they dominated, so-called ‘White Town.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is meant by de-urbanization? Answer: De-urbanisation is a process when a large number of people from cities begin to move to other towns/villages. Lack of opportunities like trade, export from ports, and jobs related to trade and exports; was the main cause of this.

Detailed explanation-4: -During British rule, there was some infrastructural development in areas such as railways, ports, water transport, posts, and telegraphs. However, the motive behind this development was simply to foster the colonial interest of the British government. They were never interested in the growth of the Indian economy.
