dc.description.abstractTHE WORLD is facing an unprecedented amount of urbanisation today. The rate of urban growth is also found to be accelerating in the case of India. The 2011 Census data reveals that since Independence, it is the first recorded instance wherein the absolute increase in population has been more in urban areas than that in rural areas, with the level of urbanisation increasing from 27.81 per cent to 31.16 per cent within the census period of 2001 to 2011. Besides, all predictions indicate that the urban population growth rate will be significantly high in the coming decade and hence a proper sustainable planning for urban development is the need of the hour. This is in view of the fact that with growing urban population, problems in urban areas are also becoming manifold that pose a great challenge to human development as well as to the development of the country on the whole.en_US
