This report analyses the provision of common goods and commuting patterns in Punjab’s urban areas, utilising data from an Interactive Voice Response (IVR)-based survey with over 8,000 participants.
We conducted an analysis of the nature of urban growth in Punjab, by classifying Punjab’s 117 assembly constituencies into rural or urban categories. Using geospatial algorithms, we organised, classified, and summarised satellite data for each constituency.
Our methodology identified 26 urban constituencies, which we further organised into urban clusters. In these urban clusters, we ran Interactive Voice Response (IVR)-based surveys reaching over 8,000 respondents to understand the provision of public goods such as road maintenance and grievance redressal methods in its absence and commuting patterns in Punjab. Our key aim was to determine if service delivery had kept pace with the rate of urban growth.
