Abstract

This chapter attempts to study the trend in population growth and changes in land use, highlighting the extent to which land under forest, green areas, water bodies, and other vacant spaces are declined over time across mega-city regions in India. Many associated problems like unplanned growth, unemployment, poor traffic management, scarcity of resources, environmental degradation, etc. appear as constraints of development. The emphasis should be on land management in metropolitan cities and its satellite towns, which should reduce over-exploitation of natural resources, accelerate economic viability, assure livability, and promote environmental quality.
