This makes rural regions and agricultural lands incredibly important to the country.
The urban regions in India are valued for their urban infrastructure. Indian cities are homes to the largest urban transformation in the twenty-first century. More populations are predicted to be living in Indian cities in the near future.

With the rural regions and urban areas both playing integral roles in India’s urban development, the areas in between are being neglected. These areas mainly house low-income groups with very little urban infrastructure and vast open lands that are being wasted. In order to ensure sustainable urban development in India, it is a matter of urgency and relevance to improve these areas and strengthen these communities. (Less)
Popular Abstract
The following thesis project has been a passion project of mine for several years. My interest in this issue was piqued when I visited the Bettahalsuru quarry as part of a project during my bachelors.
This thesis recognizes the problems that exist in the urban development process in India and its outcomes. The thesis aims to discuss and find solutions to problems that arise from the large-scale migration of population from rural to urban regions
The site chosen for this thesis is Bettahalsuru, as mentioned above. The thesis examines the existing conditions in Bettahalsuru and the surrounding areas in the urban fringe of Bangalore and proposes sustainable solutions to better the conditions in these areas.
