STUDY OF FRINGE AREA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT (CASE STUDY BALANAGAR, HYDERABAD)

Abstract

Industrialisation is a process of growth, which organically linked the social and economic past to the parallel process of socio-economic development. Industrial aotiviiy is an important aspect in, the spectrum of National Development. In order to accommodate the new industries and the existing industrial activities, the planning of new industrial towns and the redevelopment of the existing industrial areas is required to be done. The success of such developments primarily depend on the correct procedure adopted for an overall planning of the industrial entity ie., the industries and the township. The present study had been done, to know the lacuna's and lapses of the existing industrial area. The inadequacies of basic 'needs, environmental problems, haphazard growth, improper planning and future problems of the industrial area are found out. A complete study of Balanagar show the inadequacy of planning and control in the area during the initial stages of development. Majority of the problems in Balanagar are due to the ribbon development along the Bombay National Highway No.9 and shortage of housing stock for the industrial workers. The study deals with several aspects of the problems in Balanagar. Conclusions are drawn and the study ends at giving recommendations for fringe industrial developments like Balanagar.
