IMPLICATION OF URBAN EXPANSION ON HOUSING

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Urbanization and pace of urbanization has increased tremendously in last few decades. Cities are growing very fast, in terms of population as well as size, spreading beyond municipal jurisdiction. More and more towns are now getting converted in to cities. According to UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund Agency) in 2008 more than half of Worlds population lives in cities. Urbanization trend is seen all over the world but is becoming most dominant in Asia. In India we have many metro cities as well as tier two cities which are growing very rapidly because of migration from surrounding areas. Urbanization has many effects on the city structure. Increasing population has to be accommodated in the city, so the problems of slums, unauthorized construction and haphazard development of fringe areas are observed in most of the Indian cities.

This study analyses the causes of urbanization, trends of urbanization in developed nation as well as India as developing nations. Further discusses advantages and disadvantages of urbanization and its impact on housing sector which is observed in most of the Indian cities.

Urban area is an area which is dominated by the people engaged in non-agricultural activities. Urbanization is the process, by which large numbers of people become permanently concentrated in relatively small areas, forming cities.

. Quantification of urbanization is very difficult. It is a long term process. Kingsley Davis has explained urbanization as process of switch from spread out pattern of human settlements to one of concentration in urban centers. It is a finite process— a cycle through which a nation passes as they evolve from agrarian to industrial society

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The main reason for urbanization is migration. Internal rural to urban migration means people move from rural areas to urban areas. In this process the number of people living in cities increases compared with the number of people living in rural areas. Natural increase of urbanization can occur if the natural population growth in the cities is higher than in the rural areas. This scenario, however, rarely occurs. A country is considered to urbanize when over 50 per cent of its population live in the urban areas. People from rural areas migrate to cities in search of employment, opportunity, better facilities and amenities, etc. This migration can be of two types, first In-migration also termed as urban pull, this happens due to availability of employment in a city. Second is Out-migration also termed as rural push, this happens due to lack of resources, opportunities in rural areas causing people to migrate from rural areas to urban areas.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

Urbanization is an index of transformation from traditional rural economies to modern industrial one. It is progressive concentration of population in urban unit. This work provides more information for future policy makers to make better policies. It gives a depth of in formation for town and urban planners.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This research work would be conducted in rivers metropolis, with surveys and interviews, and questionnaires distributed randomly to residents within the metropolis

SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY

This research creates more information for future researchers, for government policies to be made in clearer terms
