    Urban settlements in India can be categorized based on their origins. Ancient towns developed as religious and cultural centers over 2000 years ago, such as Varanasi and Pataliputra. Medieval towns emerged as administrative headquarters during that period, like Delhi, Hyderabad, and Jaipur. Modern towns were established by European traders and later developed by the British, including ports such as Surat and cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. A settlement's site refers to the physical land area, while its situation describes relationships with surrounding areas and access to resources/other settlements, which can change over time and influence a settlement's growth.

    Urban Settlements
    Urban Settlements Unlike rural settlements, urban settlements are generally compact and larger in size. They are engaged in a variety of non-agricultural, economic and administrative functions. As mentioned earlier, cities are functionally linked to rural areas around them. Thus, exchange of goods and services is performed sometimes directly and sometimes through a series of market towns and cities. Thus, cities are connected directly as well as indirectly with the villages and also with each other.

    Urban Settlements
    Ancient Towns There are number of towns in India having historical background spanning over 2000 years. Most of them developed as religious and cultural centers. Varanasi is one of the important towns among these. Prayag (Allahabad),Pataliputra (Patna), Madurai are some other examples of ancient towns in the country. Medieval Towns About 100 of the existing towns have their roots in the medieval period. Most of them developed as headquarters of principalities and kingdoms. These are fort towns which came up on the ruins of ancient towns. Important among the mare Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Agra and Nagpur. Modern Towns The British and other Europeans have developed a number of towns in India. Starting their foothold on coastal locations, they first developed some trading ports suchas Surat, Daman, Goa, Pondicherry, etc. The British later consolidated their hold around three principal nodes Mumbai (Bombay),Chennai (Madras), and Kolkata (Calcutta) and built them in the British style.
