urbanization in ganga
Urbanization in the Ganga basin is increasing rapidly due to rural-urban migration and population growth. This has put pressure on water resources as urban areas depend on groundwater and river water for supply and waste disposal. Water tables are declining and groundwater quality is deteriorating. In densely populated areas like Varanasi, lack of planning has led to sewage and industrial waste being dumped untreated into the Ganga river, polluting it heavily. This poses major health risks to those who use the river water for bathing, drinking, and religious practices. Efforts to clean up the Ganga through plans like the Ganga Action Plan have had limited success.

Definition,meaning, scope,approach, and aim of urban-geography
Urban geography is the study of urban areas and cities, their development, spatial patterns, and interactions within the surrounding environment. It examines the site and evolution of cities and towns, as well as their morphology, classification, and the economic and social impacts of urbanization. The scope of urban geography has expanded over time to consider cities not just as physical entities but as complex systems influenced by cultural, political, and historical factors.
Types and delineation of regions ppt
This document discusses different types of regions and methods for delineating regions. There are three main types of regions: formal, functional, and perceptual/vernacular. Formal regions have officially defined boundaries, functional regions are defined by economic or other processes within them, and perceptual regions reflect cultural attitudes. Methods for delineating regions include weighted index numbers, factor analysis, flow analysis and gravitational analysis. These methods group areas based on shared characteristics like socioeconomic factors or the intensity of interactions between locations.

Cultural realm
There are 10 major cultural realms in the world according to H. Robinson's classification system. These include the Polar region, European region, Anglo-American region, Latin American region, Dry region, African region, Oriental region, and Australia-New Zealand region. Each cultural realm is characterized by shared linguistic, religious, and other cultural traits as well as similarities in climate, occupation, and level of development.
Mega City
South Asia is experiencing rapid urbanization, with five of its cities projected to be among the largest in the world by 2015. This growth is driven by rural-to-urban migration as people seek economic opportunities. However, many migrants end up living in slums lacking basic services. The region's megacities face challenges like sprawling slums, poverty, disease, pollution and lack of infrastructure. Dhaka has experienced extreme population growth and now has over 12 million residents, with many living in poor conditions. Other large and growing South Asian cities discussed are Mumbai, Delhi, and Karachi. Effective solutions are needed to manage urban growth and improve living standards in a sustainable manner.
Measures of Urbanization
There are several measures used to summarize levels of urbanization in a region. Degree or level of urbanization can be measured by percent urban, which is the proportion of total population living in urban areas, or the urban-rural ratio. The size of locality of residence of the median inhabitant and mean city population size take into account actual city sizes. Tempo of urbanization refers to the rate of change in urbanization levels over time and can be measured by annual percentage point changes or average annual growth rates of the percent urban population. Proper measures depend on data availability and research purpose as each index has advantages and limitations.

MULTI-LEVEL PLANNING IN INDIA
Multi-level planning in India involves active participation from local institutions in the planning process, from information gathering and policymaking to implementation and monitoring. It follows principles like function-sharing, financial decentralization, and public participation. Planning occurs at multiple levels - national, state, district, block, and village - with each level building on the previous. This approach helps address local problems, better utilize resources, reduce disparities, and involve local expertise compared to centralized planning alone.
City region
A city region is a metropolitan area and surrounding areas that function together economically. It typically includes multiple administrative districts but shares resources like a central business district, labor market, and transportation network. City regions are defined by dominant commuting patterns rather than arbitrary boundaries. Over time, city regions change shape as populations and economic activity shift. A city's influence decreases with distance from its center, but it exerts dominance over surrounding towns and cities through provision of specialized services. In India, city regions have formed around major cities through clusters of urban settlements in their areas of influence.
Lecture 3: Urban & Regional Planning (Risk Mitigation Concept)
This document discusses different patterns of rural settlements. It begins by defining patterns of settlement and noting that topography and culture influence settlement patterns. It then describes common rural settlement patterns including rectangular, linear, circular, star-shaped, triangular, and nebular. Specific examples of each pattern are provided. The document also discusses common patterns of rural settlements in Bangladesh, including nucleated, linear, disperse, compact, and scattered settlements. Examples of each type in different Bangladeshi regions are provided.
Urban settlements
Urban settlements are characterized by high population densities, populations engaged mostly in non-agricultural sectors, and nucleated settlements with distinct economic and cultural characteristics compared to rural areas. India's urban population was 31.16% in 2011, with large variation between states from 62.17% in Goa to 10.04% in Himachal Pradesh. Urban areas are officially defined as settlements with over 5,000 people, density over 400/sq km, and at least 75% engaged in non-farm work. Urban centers are further classified based on population as towns (<100k), cities (100k-1m), metropolises (>1m), and megacities (>5m people). Problems faced

Backward regional development
This document discusses backward regional development plans in India. It begins by outlining the need to identify backward regions to target development efforts. Several national committees are mentioned that developed criteria and methods to delineate backward areas based on factors like income, infrastructure, employment levels etc. Principal methods used include calculating development indices for districts and ranking them. The Backward Area Grant Fund was launched to direct financial resources towards the 250 most backward districts to strengthen local governance and infrastructure. Case studies of state-level plans for backward areas are also referenced.

Urbanisation in india
Urbanization in India refers to the increasing percentage of people living in urban areas. According to the 2011 census, India's urban population was 31.16% of the total population. The three states with the largest urban populations were Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, while the states with the smallest urban populations were Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, and Mizoram. Between 2001-2011, India's population grew by 181 million people, with 90 million in rural areas and 91 million in urban areas, showing nearly equal growth rates in rural and urban populations for the first time. Problems of rapid urbanization in India include unemployment, lack of adequate housing, pollution, and insufficient infrastructure
Urban growth and urbanization
This document discusses urban growth and urbanization in India. It defines urban growth as the rate at which a city's population increases, and urbanization as the process by which there is an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas. The major causes of urbanization in India are industrialization, which provides more jobs, as well as opportunities for better education, healthcare, and standards of living that attract people to cities. However, rapid urbanization can also lead to issues like overcrowding, poverty, and pollution. The document provides statistics on India's past and projected urbanization rates and their economic and social impacts.
Urbanization Process
Urbanization is the process of urban concentration and growth in the proportion of the total population living in urban areas. It occurs through the multiplication of urban settlements and the increase in size of existing settlements. There are three aspects of urbanization: behavioral changes in individuals, structural changes in the economy and technology, and demographic changes as societies shift from small homogeneous to large heterogeneous. Gibbs' model outlines five sequential stages of urbanization from initial emergence to a more ubiquitous population distribution with satellite towns. The theory of spatial cycles describes four phases of urban development: urbanization through rural-urban migration, suburbanization as residential areas expand outward, counter-urbanization as people move further out, and re-urbanization as people return to previously abandoned
Planning NCR
This document discusses a regional planning approach for sustainable development in Delhi by the year 2050. It summarizes the current National Capital Region plan covering Delhi and surrounding areas in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan states. The region is expected to grow significantly in population over the coming decades, placing importance on integrated regional planning to manage growth.
The world population distribution, density and growth
The document discusses key topics related to world population including:
1. The current world population is 7.8 billion as of 2020 and is unevenly distributed across the world.
2. Population density varies based on factors like climate, resources, and level of development. densely populated areas have over 200 people per square km while sparsely populated areas have under 1 person per square km.
3. Population growth is influenced by birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns. Most countries have experienced a demographic transition from high birth/death rates to low birth/death rates as development increased.

Hammad Hayat Khan has a BS in Geography from the University of Karachi and an MS in Urban and Regional Planning from NED University of Engineering and Technology. He is currently a PhD scholar at NED University. The document discusses definitions of key terms related to urban planning such as urban, planning, and urban planning. It describes the roles and importance of urban planners in creating sustainable and equitable communities through comprehensive planning. Specific challenges facing urban planning in Pakistan are highlighted, including accommodating rapid population growth and the lack of coordination between planning agencies.
Political Geography.pptx
Political geography is concerned with the relationship between political processes and spatial structures. It focuses on how political systems influence and are influenced by the distribution of resources, events, and groups across different political units from local to international levels. Political geography examines key concepts such as territory, territoriality, the state, and social and political processes. It considers how these concepts interact and how they shape the physical environment. Political geography takes a scientific, artistic, and philosophical approach to understand these interactions and connections between politics and geography.
Urbanisation and Human Development: A Study of West Bengal
Urbanization is now a burning issue in all over the world and it related with many things all
together. Urbanization is regarded as one of the key dimensions of the process of socio-economic development.
It is a multifaceted process. It is a necessary condition for economic development, because economies of scale
and of agglomeration in the urban areas make possible economic development through industrialization. India
is at accelerating stage of the process of urbanization. In the current paper West Bengal, an Indian state, which
was one of the most urbanized states of India before independence, has been taken as unit of the study. Still the
state of West Bengal is one of leading urban state of India with 28.03% of the total population residing in
various urban areas. The state West Bengal has a particular pattern of urbanization that is the overwhelming
role of the primate city. It may be said that this contrasting pattern of urbanization has a great deal to do with
the differing land tenure systems, the colonial economic policies pursued by the British, and the course followed
in terms of economic development in these two types of areas during the post-independence period. Keeping in
view all the background history of urbanization of the state of West Bengal, The major objective of this paper
will be to assess the present trends and patterns of urbanization in West Bengal and also to examine the
relationship with the urbanization and human development index, which is an indicator of socio-economic
development. For the purpose of this study the secondary data source has been used i.e. Census of India, 2001,
Town directory of West Bengal.
This paper finds that there is sluggish urban growth rate is observed in comparison to other advanced states of
India during the post-independence period and the huge concentration of urban growth in and around Kolkata
districts. This paper also finds the fact that, at the district level there is a positive relationship between the level
of urbanization and the HDI.

Urbanisation in bangladesh : Recent trends and challenges
The key drivers of urban growth have been natural increase of urban populations, expansion of existing urban areas, reclassification of areas as urban, and rural to urban migration. However, urbanisation has also created challenges related to spatial imbalance, lack of employment opportunities, inadequate housing and infrastructure, environmental degradation, and governance issues. The document recommends addressing these challenges through balanced regional development, rural economic opportunities, basic services in rural areas, and improved governance.
