 The present set of results pertain to data collected in the
Census 2011 on Urbanization.
 Compilation of urban data is an essential prerequisite
for dissemination of census results and for population
projection.
 The term urbanisation, is most commonly used to
denote the phenomenon of population distribution in the
urban localities.

 The urban area comprises two types of towns viz;
Statutory towns and Census towns.
(a) Statutory Towns : All places with a municipality,
corporation, cantonment board or notified town area
committee, etc. are known as statutory towns.
(b) Census towns: All other places satisfying the following
three criteria simultaneously are treated as Census Towns.
i) A minimum population of 5,000;
ii) At least 75 per cent of male working population
engaged in non-agricultural pursuits; and
iii) A density of population of at least 400 per sq. km.
(1,000 per sq. mile)

 Out Growths:
It is a viable unit such as a village or a hamlet or an
enumeration block and clearly identifiable in terms of its
boundaries and location.
While determining the outgrowth of a town, it has been
ensured that it possesses the urban features in terms of
infrastructure and amenities such as pucca roads, electricity,
tap water, drainage system, educational institutions, post
offices,
medical
facilities,
banks
etc.
contiguous with the core town of the UA.
and
physically

 Outgrowths included “fairly large well recognized railway
colonies,
university
campuses,
port
areas,
military
establishments etc., which might have come up around a
core city or a statutory town”.

 The concept of `Outgrowth’ was introduced for the first
time in Census 1971.
 Concept was introduced with a view to have a true
measure of extent of urbanization because such areas
were already urbanized and it was not realistic to treat
them as rural just because they were lying outside the
statutory limits of a town.
 The outgrowths formed an integrated urban area, these
were treated as the part of Urban Agglomeration.

 Urban Agglomeration(UA)
An urban agglomeration is a continuous urban spread
constituting a town and its adjoining outgrowths (OGs), or
two or more physically contiguous towns together with or
without outgrowths of such towns.
 Identification of Urban Agglomerations for 2011 Census
The core town or atleast one of the constituent towns of
an urban agglomeration should necessarily be a statutory
town; and
The total population of an Urban Agglomeration (i.e. all
the constituents put together) should not be less than 20,000
as per the 2001 Census.

 City
Towns with population of 100,000 and above are called
cities.
 Mega city
The concept of ‘Mega city’ is a recent phenomenon in
the Urban Sociology and is defined in term of metropolitan
city in the form of large size, problem of management of
civic amenities and capacity to absorb the relatively high
growth of population.
Cities with 10 millions and above population have been
treated as Mega cities.

 Size-class Hierarchy of Urban Areas :
The population of cities and towns are presented in
the following six size-classes:
Size-class
