It predominately result in the physical growth of urban areas, be it horizontally or vertical. Main objectives of present research paper are as under: To study the Impact of urbanization on India and its related problems. To suggest the appropriate measures of solve the urban problems. In this paper we use data from two different sources: Census of India 2001 and 2011, and the all-India household Survey of Employment and Unemployment and Migration Particulars periodically conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO), India. Redirection of investment is recommended to develop strong economic base for small and medium city neglected so far. Redirection of migration flows is required. Since the mega cities have reached saturation level for employment generation and to avoid over-crowding into the over congested slums of mega cities i.e Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi, Madras etc it is required to build strong economic sector (Kundu and Basu,1998) in the urban economy, growth efforts and investments should be directed towards small cities which have been neglected so far so that functional base of urban economy is strengthened. Then redirection of migration to this desirable destination will be possible.
