Urbanization and regional development are closely associated. Allocation of
higher and lower order facilities and specialization of business influence urban growth
which diffuses its benefits to the surrounding countryside. Subsequently, socio-economic
development of the region comes into being. The continuous increase of urban size can
not be sustained rather declining growth will certainly set in long run. Optimum level of its
growth depends on the capacity of an urban centre to provide required facilities to the
people in fair manner. Hierarchical growth of urban centres in association with location of
civic amenities induces regional development in hierarchical dimension which is the
common problem in developing economy. Subsequently, few of the urban centres are
having large number of facilities while others are lacking corresponding to their population
size. Formulation of pragmatic planning model is the rescue of wiping out such problems. It
is an attempt to analyze the hierarchical growth of urban centres associated with their
functional potentiality and diffusion of urban developmental impulses to the surrounding
rural part. Further, it proposes a model for developing economy like India to solve the
problem of regional variations of development. Besides, it examines the adequacy and
inadequacy of facilities in the urban centres and puts forward planning recommendations,
so that a balanced regional development would be achieved by not leaving any rural part
out of the zone of functional influence of urban centre.... view less
