This image shows the growth of population over 110 years in Delhi. The largest increase was between 1941 and 1951 where the government was incredibly relaxed about the birth rate. Family sizes increased meaning they needed larger living spaces and the population density got larger. The smallest population increase was in the decade between 1901 and 1911. This is because of a large increase in migrants from rural areas in Delhi to the urban areas. To be more specific the migrants travelled from rural areas into the Fort and Walled City.
