Residential development and infrastructural satisfaction in peri urban areas of Amritsar
- Nagarlok: Quarterly Journal of Urban Affairs
- 54(1), Mar, 2022: p.35-50
Increasing urbanisation has led the cities to sprawl beyond their municipal limits on the rural lands, known as peri-urban areas. The development in the peri-urban areas is characterised by conversion from agricultural land to other land uses. The upcoming new development in the peri-urban results in various changes in socio-economic and physical characteristics. Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority (PUDA) approved planned, regularised, and unplanned/ unauthorised residential developments in the peri-urban area of the Amritsar metropolis are appraised to assess the level of satisfaction of residents about the basic amenities available within it. – Reproduced
