Abstract

 

 

The area under statutory towns in Haryana increased from 319.39 km2 to 1499.84 km2 between the period 1961-2011. This increase in urban area contributed by statutory towns found its explanation in territorial extension of municipal limits of as many as 59 towns, many of them undergoing revision in municipal limits more than once. There are 52 statutory towns in the NCR-Haryana sub-region as per 2011 census. As many as 38 statutory towns have experienced boundary change during the period 1961-2011. These also include those statutory towns that have come up later after 1961.This interesting figure points out to the fact that urbanization is lopsided in NCR-H region than in Non- NCR region. This is because cities are expanding more in NCR-H at the expense of small towns.
