Satellite cities are planned cities, adjacent to a prime city. Such cities manage and contain the increasing urban sprawl. They are designed for a major city to extend in all possible ways. They are to house and utilize a mushrooming population; the individuals might fabricate an interest for development of the current settlement in a metropolitan city. Satellite cities are entirely standalone cities, planned, and developed outside metros. They are self-containing, independent cities. Here this paper aims to study the importance of satellite cities, its connection with parent city and how it is perceived in city planning. The paper also try to evolve a set of strategies that to be incorporated while planning so that a satellite town will become a feasible option for solving the issues of metropolitan cities. Satellite town is one of the main options that can be adopted in our current scenario. The government of India also encourages the development of satellite towns as one of the solutions to solve the issues of congested cities.
