Urban populations are snowballing, increasing household (HH) water consumption. The growing housing density, the expanding infrastructure, and altered land use patterns place increasing pressure on the water supply and usage. This makes it harder for urban HHs to obtain clean water and worsens water scarcity, with infrastructural and environmental...

Urban morphology studies define how settlements are formed to support human activities. Population, urban activity, and land use can influence transportation choices, such as decreased public transit availability in high-density locations due to increased expenses. The research gap between urban morphology and transport preferences leading to issue...

A dynamic combination of environmental, social, and economic factors shapes and manages the urban landscape. Understanding these factors behind urban growth can help us discern more about its past and future. This study examines the fractal dimension of the built-up area (BUA) boundaries of two municipalities in the emerging South Bengal Region (SB...

Urban morphology is an essential tool for understanding the urban areas and cultures of emerging economies. It helps to examine a region's physical shape, layout, or evolution to understand its history, dynamics and consequences of urban growth on local communities. These criteria reveal the policies and practices needed to boost socioeconomic prog...

The term "urbanization" refers to the process of mass migration from rural to urban environments and the resulting increase in the percentage of the population that resides in cities. In this century, more than 50% of the world's population lived in urban areas, making this a prominent worldwide trend. Many factors, including economic and social op...

India accounts for almost 4% of the world's water resources and 18% of the world's population, and India ranks 120th of the 122 countries in the global water quality index, with almost 70% contamination (NITI Aayog, 2020). Tripathi (2018) says that based on the current situation, nearly 40% of Indians won't have access to drinking water by 2030. Th...

The impacts of uncontrolled development may be catastrophic in areas experiencing fast population expansion and climatic variability, so the South Bengal Region, adjacent to Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), is facing similar threats. It is essential to monitor such Land use and land cover changes (LULC) in a rapidly urbanizing country like Indi...

Continuous urban-rural migration between 1991 and 2001 has caused significant land use land cover (LULC) changes around core urban areas in Indian Urban areas. These expansions, through outgrowths and developments in urban-rural fringe areas, significantly impact the environment; therefore, it is essential to monitor LULC changes to promote sustain...

Water is an essential part of the landscape, and urban planning in densely urbanized areas in the Satellite Town of Kolkata, the Rajarhat New Town area. This review article highlights the trans-formations of urban livelihood and the low-lying areas of Rajarhat New Town since the 1990s. Today, the region's natural drainage and wetland system remains...

TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) is a long-term development strategy to increase metropolitan regions' quality of life (QoL). The Metro Rail Transit System (MRTS) is an integral part of the TOD plan and significantly impacts contemporary urban development. It is a crucial transformation parameter that influences the overall urban structure. Kolka...

Most cities are located on rivers, and for very good historical reasons, which included navigation/commerce, fisheries, water supply, waste disposal, and quotidian uses, such as washing clothes. The identities and distinctive characteristics of many cities are closely tied to their rivers, and the many ways their residents interact with their urban...

The Bengal Delta is one of the ecologically sensitive zones of the Indian sub-continent. This sensitive zone is facilitated by water, which has an entry in all parts of people’s lives through seasonal monsoon flooding, and cyclones under extreme weather conditions. The topography determines the flow of drainage, which slopes to the East. The charac...

The Bengal Delta is one of the ecologically sensitive zones of the Indian sub-continent. This sensitive zone is facilitated by water (Nath, 2014), which enters all parts of people’s lives through seasonal monsoon flooding and cyclones under extreme weather conditions. The topography determines the flow of drainage, which slopes to the East. This sl...

Every place has its built-in environment that supports and help in the operation of its inhabitants. The surrounding of an inhabitant and the available resources play a significant role in the region's growth and development. Therefore, the management and analysis of the resources are critical in the region's uninterrupted functioning. This paper w...

The sustainable cities in and around the world today account for different types of sustainability. The case taken up for research is located in the Lower Himalayan region of the Indian sub-continent. The Kullu valley is the most urbanized area in the Upper Beas Region which the largest basin of the Himalayan range in India and caters almost 7 lakh...
