Abstract

UNDERSTANDING URBAN MORPHOLOGY: INDORE CITY

Sehba Saleem*

ABSTRACT

In broad terms, the shift of population from rural to more developed urban areas is known as urbanization. Though this phenomenon found its roots in times of Industrial Revolution, the vehemence with which it captured the imagination and lives of people in recent times is noteworthy and unparalleled. Not long ago was land freely and readily available which served as a gunpowder to trigger off widespread transformation of rural areas and also germination of new urban areas. The new urban areas acted as a magnet in inviting population from far and wide to come and settle, which sparked off a horizontal expansion which engulfed most of the rural hinterland lying adjacent to upcoming urban areas. The rural hinterland was forced to inculcate traits of its adjacent urban area in terms of concrete constructions and socioeconomic infrastructure. As a result of this the margins of the urban areas started to widen. They no longer remained constricted to specific area but instead started expanding horizontally as land and resources required for expansion was readily available. The rural hinterland began to act as a satellite to the main urban area covering up for the lack of space in the urban area. But these areas didn't altogether surrender their rural traits. They still had the rural character which was their own in some ways. With such transformations in hindsight, concepts like peri-urban areas and urban sprawl came into existence. This paper shall object to delineate the germination and the character of these concepts and throw light into relevance of these concepts in modern times.
