Uttar Pradesh is comparatively a less urbanized state of India i.e 21.78% as compared to total urban population in India being 31.16% . The district of Prayagraj forms an important geographical and cultural entity in the state. There is a presence of drastic levels of difference in the urbanization levels in different regions of the district. The district lies in the confluence of rivers Ganga and Yamuna. They divide the district into different regions. The area lying between both the rivers i.e the Doab region has seen high growth of urban population of 87.1%. While the region in both trans-Yamuna and trans-Ganga have experience constrained growth in urban population. Specially the trans-Yamuna Region where according to 2011 census the urban population level is 5.79% . The paper aims to study the variation in urbanisation across different sub districts and different units to chalk out a definite pattern in urban growth . the absolute growth has a linkage with the rates of growth of the town which is inth form of positive correlation inmost of the cases
