Nagarlok: Quarterly Journal of Urban AffairsSummary: Urbanisation is an irreversible process and large cities grow at an unprecedented rate. Contemporary urbanisation is driven by increasing number of non-statutory urban centres, i.e. Census Towns in India. The eastern part of the state of Uttar Pradesh is a least urbanised region, but it has a significant number of Census Towns which contribute to quasi urbanisation. This paper aims to study trends and patterns in urbanisation and analyse district-level variation in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Based on the secondary sources of data largely retrieved from the Census of India and various reports, this study unfolds that the distribution of Census Towns is highly uneven and many of them are located in the vast rural environments of highlyurbanised districts and raise concerns of governance and urban management.- Reproduced
