Modelling Urban Growth, Demand–Supply Dynamics, and Climate Resilience: A Study of a Class-I City in Eastern India

The extensive transformation of natural landscapes into man-made landscapes places constraints on long-term urban sustainability. Therefore, it is important to analyse the issues of urban resilience relating to demand and supply for urban-related services in terms of human adaptation in a class-I town like Midnapore municipality in West Bengal’s Paschim Medinipur district. To emphasize urban resilience, this study has been conducted to analyse the dynamics of the urban landscape from 1991 to 2021, predict the landscape for 2031 and 2041, and analyse the demand–supply chain of urban facilities to assess the nature of human adaptation in changing urban landscapes. The study used satellite images of 1991, 2001, 2011, and 2021, while information about the supply and demand chain, such as market, accessibility, medical and educational services, job facilities, drinking water services, and land availability was gathered from the field survey. This study revealed that urban expansion has encroached upon peripheral areas, replacing agricultural land and green spaces. The integrated demand and supply analysis indicated increasing demand in the periphery region while supply is concentrated only in the municipality’s core. As urban land alteration will be a major issue for human adaptability soon, research into urban land dynamics and demand–supply analysis of urban amenities in the context of climate change and sustainable development will be extremely beneficial to local planners and administrators in managing the urban body for human living.
