The 'West Bengal Model' of urbanisation refers to a distinctive pattern of urban growth characterised by the development of numerous small and medium towns instead of excessive concentration in a single metropolitan city. Unlike the metropolitan-centric model, where economic activities, industries, services, and population become concentrated in one or two large cities, the West Bengal Model demonstrates a dispersed urban structure supported by a dense network of municipalities and census towns. This pattern has attracted the attention of urban sociologists and planners as a possible alternative for achieving balanced regional development and reducing pressure on megacities. West Bengal has historically exhibited one of the highest levels of urban density in India. While Kolkata remains the principal metropolitan centre, the state possesses a large number of Class II, III, and IV towns distributed across different districts. Many of these towns developed due to historical trade routes, river-based commerce, railway connectivity, industrial clusters, and administrative functions.
