Urbanization, Urban Sprawl and Environment in Dehradun

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Energy, Environment and Globalization

Abstract

Urban sprawl is synonymous with the urbanization. It characterizes the expansion of human population away from central urban areas into peri-urban areas, migration of a people into low-density residential areas in the outskirts of the city with more use of the personal automobiles for transport.
