ABSTRACT
India is a densely populated country. Urbanization has a very bad impact on the environment. The study reveal that rapid urbanization has significant negative impacts on the environment. Many cities are polluted in the country due to what we put into the environment like harmful chemicals from power plants, industries, cars and other activities. The country is suffering from the environmental issues from a long time, but this time the urbanization has been added. Rapid urbanization, characterized by high levels of individual energy consumption and dense population concentrations, is leading to unplanned development in the certain areas, making it the primary drivers of the environmental degradation. Urbanization will always continue as an unavoidable process but we must check our progress to ensure we move forward correctly. The government needs to establish protective measures and regulations which will benefit all citizens to achieve sustainable urban development that protects the environment. This study highlights the need for integrated approaches combining technological innovation, community involvement, and policy reforms Sustainable urban planning, including proper waste management, green infrastructure, and regulatory enforcement, is essential to ensure environmental protection and social equity in India’s cities.
