Trends of Urban Spread & Its Challenges: A Study on English Bazar Municipality
In India, a settlement gets the urban tag when it reaches a minimum population of five thousands with seventy-five percent of its population engaged in non-agricultural pursuits and a density of four hundred persons per square kilometer. An urban centre grows with time if it can create enough urban pull in the surrounding regions. In this pull the urban authority, e.g. a municipality or corporation, plays a major part. Its performance determines the livability of the urban centre and its future spread. With the urban spread come challenges of administrating an ever growing population, providing required urban amenities and infrastructure, creating a sustainable urban economy, finding out problems and opportunities and planning for future. English Bazar is the district town of Malda district of West Bengal, originally developed by the British in the middle of the seventeenth century even before the district came up. The English Bazar Municipality came up in the year 1869. Since then it has come up as the second largest town in North Bengal. This study tries to go through the development of the town and its citizens, to analyze the performance of the municipality and the weakness and opportunities therein.
