Strategies for Development of Peri-Urban Area: A Case Study of Rourkela

Abstract

Abstract: Peri-urban areas, the transitional zones between urban and rural environments, are increasingly being targeted for sustainable development due to their rapid expansion and unique challenges. This paper explores development strategies for these areas, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that integrates economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability. Key factors driving peri-urban growth include urban sprawl, population migration, and economic opportunities. The study highlights the pressures these areas face, such as inadequate infrastructure, environmental degradation, and social disparities. Comprehensive planning, including land use management, infrastructure development, and community participation, is crucial for fostering resilient peri-urban regions. Case studies from different geographical contexts illustrate successful interventions and policies, including mixed-use developments, green infrastructure, and governance frameworks. The findings suggest that sustainable development in peri-urban areas requires a multi-faceted approach, aligning local initiatives with regional planning efforts.
