520			_aOne of the major problems that urban India faces today is the failure of urban facilities like sanitary, drainage, sewerage, housing and transport to cope with the increasing demand of human population. Through the present work based on the study of five sample cities of West Bengal viz. Howrah, Durgapur, Burdwan, Hooghly-Chinsurah and Chandan Nagar. Dr. Arun Kumar Singh attempts to highlight the extent of the problem. The study has two parts: the first one deals with the circumstances causing' variation in the experience of urbanisation, the second part tries to interrelate urban development with infrastructural development of the municipal government. The role of municipal governments has been examined particularly to assess sensitivity of the city fathers toward developing an appropriate infrastructure for combating deteriorating standard of urban life. This is a valuable book for scholars and researchers of the discipline of human geography, urban and regional geography, urban sociology, urban nthropology, administrators of urban development, town and country 'planners, public administrators and all interested in better civic life.
