Abstract

Since about the year 2000, more than half of the world’s population lives in urban or highly urbanized areas (Swanson, 2007). An urban environment is the region surrounding a city. Most inhabitants of urban areas have non-agricultural jobs. Urban issues and challenges are grouped under two broad categories. Firstly, internal problems affect the city area and its inhabitants: and secondly, the external issues that impact the area and people on its fringe area or umland. Bengaluru is the second-fastest-growing city in Asia. Today Bengaluru is facing many issues and challenges because of the fastest growth of Urbanization. Bengaluru has a vast number of opportunities in terms of employment, education, investment, and favorable climatic conditions attracting people from various places. This research paper aims to crucially analyse the selected issues and challenges of Bangalore Metropolitan. The data for the research has been obtained from spatial and non-spatial data sources. Secondary data have been used to write the research papers. Geospatial technology has used to prepare the maps.
