| Abstract: | Urbanization is increasing globally including developed and developing countries. India is also facing this phenomenon due to migration of population in search of employment and better quality of life. The new development due to this migration is not taking care of integration of infrastructure facilities and there is a increasing gap in demand and supply.
The small towns like Roorkee are also facing this problem of infrastructure facilities. A number of residential colonies have come up in this small town during last 15-20 years but the development is only limited to residential buildings along with approach roads and even these roads are not sufficient as the load of vehicles is increasing day by day. There are also problems of other infrastructure facilities like water supply, sewerage and proper drainage system. People have their own tube-wells / hand pumps with septic tanks for excreta disposal. In the rainy season majority of colonies are choked with water. Some efforts by the government by declaring the Roorkee area as regulated one and even by some private developers are there for a better quality of infrastructure but these are not sufficient. There is a need of some strong planning legislation to support the urban planning activities and proper integration of infrastructure facilities. |
