Urban Governance has come to be recognized as a separate intellectual discipline, an important social science of study not only given the quick pace of urbanization but also because of the special impetus that urban India needs to be given in the fast-changing urban scenario. Urban governance which was a part of public administration has become a specialization of its own and needs a special treatment, encompassing all issues relating to urban administration: management of urban development like urban crisis, accelerated urbanization, the ideologies of the environment, the intervention of the state, urban planning, popular revolts, urban politics, urban infrastructure, growth of unorganized sector in urban areas etc. This necessitates the establishment of an efficient, effective, and accountable urban local administration in the country.
