There is a great tendency of both people and human to concentrate in large urban areas, which offer unlimited employment opportunities in the formal and informal sectors. These generate ceaseless tides of people from surrounding rural areas and nearby towns. As a result a metropolitan area grows at a faster rate, turning itself into a ‘concrete jungle’ or ‘human zoo’. The pressure of immigration and other city dwellers ultimately fall on urban land. Then emerge the problem of misuse or over use of the short supplied urban. The land use distribution becomes more and more complex and intense with greater chances of being intermingled, irrationally distributed or becoming functionally less efficient and qualitatively very poor. The congestion, blight mushrooming slums, environmental decay and social entropy loom large on the horizon and threaten to overshadow the benefits of modern urban life. Urban planning is an answer to take care of all sorts of city problem and particularly those related to the use of its physical space.
