商品描述
The volume explores the intricate relationship between urbanization, population dynamics, and the environment in the western Himalayas from a historical perspective. It challenges the conventional link that urban development is solely tied to population growth, unveiling the influence of political and economic elites. Through empirical analysis within a historical context, the study unveils the significance of cantonment towns, military consolidation, and legislative control in driving urban growth. While it leads to population surges, economic activities, and improvements in transportation and communication, it also exposes adverse effects like the overuse of forest resources, disrupting the balance between humans and nature, and leading to ecological imbalances and fatalities. This volume opens new avenues for research on rivers, biodiversity, geopolitics, socio-cultural aspects, and the economy but also offers valuable insights for national and international academia.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書從歷史的角度探討了西喜馬拉雅地區城市化、人口動態與環境之間的複雜關係。它挑戰了傳統觀點，即城市發展僅與人口增長相關，揭示了政治和經濟精英的影響。通過在歷史背景下的實證分析，本研究揭示了駐軍城鎮、軍事整合和立法控制在推動城市增長中的重要性。雖然這導致了人口激增、經濟活動增加以及交通和通信的改善，但也暴露出過度使用森林資源等不利影響，破壞了人類與自然之間的平衡，並導致生態失衡和死亡事件。本書為河流、生物多樣性、地緣政治、社會文化方面和經濟的研究開辟了新的途徑，同時也為國內外學術界提供了寶貴的見解。
