CONCEPT OF URBANIZATION
In population education, urbanization refers
to the process of population concentration
whereby populations move from a rural area
to an urban one, leading to a relative rise in
the number of city habitants. Urban
geography considers urbanization a local
phenomenon.
CLASSIFICATIONS OF URBAN CENTRES
Following can be some efforts of classifying the urban areas in
the different census and legal document :-
• The 1952/54 census provided data on 10 “prominent” settlement s with a
population over 5000. Those prominent settlements can be taken as urban
areas.
• The 1961 census for the first time defined an urban areas or a “Sahar” as “an
area with a population cluster of 5000 and over and having an urban
environment such as high school, colleges, judicial and administrative offices,
bazaar, communication facilities, mills, factories etc.
• The Nagar panchayat act of 1962 mentioned Nagar as the local level urban
administrative unit. It specified the population size criteria of ”not less than
10000” for a Nagar.
According to the local self-governance act 1999 urban centers are classified
into three categories: Nagarpalika, Upamahanagarpalika and
mahanagarpalika with the following criteria:-
i) Municipality: Municipality in an are with :-
• A minimum population size of 20000 in the terai and 10000 in the
hill/mountains.
• An annual revenue of 5 million in the terai and 500000 in the hill/mountains.
• Minimum urban facilities such as electricity, road, drinking water,
communication and other similar urban facilities
ii) Upmahanagarpalika :-
• A population size of 100000.
• An annual revenue of at least Rs. 100 million.
• An area that has already received the status of a
Nagarpalika.
iii) Mahanagarpalika :-
• A minimum population size of 300000
• An annual revenue of at least Rs 400 million

TRENDS OF URBANIZATION IN NEPAL
Towns and rural areas in Nepal are seeing
urbanization increase between 5 and 7
percent each year. This is even more than
the country's capital, Kathmandu, with a 4
percent increase every year, and Pokhara,
with a growing urbanization rate of 5
percent per year.

EFFECTS OF URBANIZATION ON
POPULATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Urbanization can increase population density by restricting
animal movement, increasing available forage, or
decreasing competition by reducing the population size
of competitors
Urbanization also affects the broader regional
environments. Regions downwind from large industrial
complexes also see increases in the amount of
precipitation, air pollution, and the number of days with
thunderstorms. Urban areas affect not only the weather
patterns, but also the runoff patterns for water.
