Previous geomorphic studies of urbanization primarily consist of case studies documenting changes in hydrologic response and channel morphology, but offer limited predictive capabilities. However, channel-stability assessment methods have been
developed to distinguish between stable and degrading or aggrading sites. Such measures allow possible prediction of urbanization impacts and offer possibilities of better preservation tools.

The urban settlement system in Germany is polycentric : it doesn't exist one sole primate city. As a result of federal policy and seen as advantageous in European-wide competition the spatial planning pursues a concept of decentralised concentration

The national capital of India, Delhi, is a city where indisputable economic progress related to urbanisation is accompanied by tremendous environmental concerns, congestion, poverty, and housing shortages. This thesis focuses on the rural-urban
fringe, which is the ultimate battlefield of the environmental and socio-economic change brought about by urbanisation. The objective is to reveal the impact of urbanisation on the villages in Delhi's rural-urban fringe. The research areas are : Alipur
Development Block north of the urban area of Delhi and Najafgarh Development Block west of Delhi. - (AGD)
