An urban centre, being a living dynamic entity, has the capacity to support outsized human population with great potential for an improved quality of urban life. But, contrary to the developed countries of the world, the phenomenon of urbanisation and urban development relationship can be hardly noticed in developing economies like India. Assam being no exception has been experiencing a phenomenal urban growth with absolute increase in number of urban centres (12 to 214) and urban population (77 thousand to 4.4 million) during 1901-2011. But, it is discouraging that the rate of urban development as compared to the urban growth in the state is quite low. Therefore, it is still unclear, whether urbanisation in Assam is the product of urban development or it is mere reflection of high population increase and consequent unbalanced urban development in urban centres. Based primarily on Secondary data, the study examines the level of urbanisation in Assam with respect to urban development including the demographic and social implications of rapidly growing urban population.
