National Capital Region (NCR), has been emerging as a gigantic magnet, attracting people not only from the proximate states of Haryana, Rajasthan and U.P. but also from the far-flung regions of the country. National Capital Region had grown in a haphazard and unplanned manner due to fast urban growth. Most of the cities in developing countries become over-populated and over-crowded partly as a result of the increase in population over the decades and partly as a result of migration of persons from the countryside to the big industrialized cities in search of employment. Most of the mega urban centre in the NCR are situated near to National Capital Territory (NCT) and create urban conurbation, this conurbation leads to un-sustainability and urban environmental degradation. Trend and pattern of urbanization as well the urban growth are the locational biased, therefore area which are having the locational advantages or having the proximity to big urban centre, having accessibility to highway and other socio political advantages are grows faster as compare to other disadvantages area. In that case especially the metro connected cities are showing the boosted growth.

Abstract


National Capital Region (NCR), has been emerging as a gigantic magnet, attracting people not only from the proximate states of Haryana, Rajasthan and U.P. but also from the far-flung regions of the country. National Capital Region had grown in a haphazard and unplanned manner due to fast urban growth. Most of the cities in developing countries become over-populated and over-crowded partly as a result of the increase in population over the decades and partly as a result of migration of persons from the countryside to the big industrialized cities in search of employment. Most of the mega urban centre in the NCR are situated near to National Capital Territory (NCT) and create urban conurbation, this conurbation leads to un-sustainability and urban environmental degradation. Trend and pattern of urbanization as well the urban growth are the locational biased, therefore area which are having the locational advantages or having the proximity to big urban centre, having accessibility to highway and other socio political advantages are grows faster as compare to other disadvantages area. In that case especially the metro connected cities are showing the boosted growth.
