Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of the research work is to examine the process of urbanization in Pune, from a small agriculture settlement called “Punnakka” to the cultural capital of Maharashtra. Pune is one of the historical cities of India, with a glorious past, an innovative present and a promising future. Pune has emerged as a prominent location for manufacturing industries, and has now been recognized as the information technology hub and education hub of the country. The city is spread over an area of 250.56 sq. km with a population of over 3 million. The rapid growth of the city has transformed from its character, as Pensioner’s city to Educational – Administrative Center and now to a bustling economic center. The city has experienced a long-standing urban tradition: first as an historical centre of precolonial Urbanism, then as an important military centre during British rule, after independence as a rapidly growing contemporary industrial centre, and today identified as a growing metropolis. This kind of background helps to understand the status, impacts and also to design strategy to promote urban planning in a sustainable manner.
