    Many districts in India are experiencing high rates of urbanization. Over 67% of districts are between 50% urbanized, and 7% have surpassed 40% urbanization. A few districts like New Delhi and Mumbai are completely urbanized. While some districts remain largely rural, many have taken on rural-urban characteristics with fast growing urbanization. Planning development at the district level would help synchronize this urban growth with national goals, as the district provides a holistic region encompassing various settlements and natural resources.

    DISTRICT as a planning region

    India has 640 districts and according to census of India, 2011,67%


    districts are urbanized up to 50% out of which approximately 7% have
    crossed the line of 40% urbanisation. New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai,
    Mumbai suburban, Hyderabad, Chennai, Yanam, and mahe (in
    puducherry) are 9 districts which are 100% urbanized.

    However, there are many other districts which have rural-urban


    character and have a fast rate of urbanisation. Therefore, the urban
    trend of these districts should be planned. Efforts to direct urbanisaton
    of such districts will synchronize the growth of cities with goals of
    national development.

    District as a unit is a holistic concept which administratively provides a


    strong foundation for planning. The hierarchy of settlements and
    natural resources available in relatively larger region are other
    additional reasons which make district aunit of planning more logical
    premise.
