It focuses on the emerging urban landscapes of the state and neighbouring areas on building sustainable urban units and sustainable communities.

The book explores the changing urban geographies of the emerging towns of the state and discusses how proper governance can help them to change into sustainable urban units. It presents the historical context of urbanization of West Bengal and traces the factors responsible for the urban primacy of the state.
