Peri-urban area is the transitional area of urban and rural having mixed character of these both. They are having

neither fully urban nor entirely rural character. Generally , it originates from outside the municipal limit and ends

to some extent in planning area of the city.

All the proposals and their locations have been marked based on the transportation

linkages and proposed mass transport.

As border is present in western

side of city, so the location of

proposals will be decided

accordingly.
