Abstract

When people start living together in a place, some problems arise as a result of that community life. These problems are related to the facilities of civic life. Such as - drinking water system, garbage removal, arrangement of drains for disposal of dirty water, lighting system, prevention of epidemics, health related facilities, roads etc. With the increase in population, the residential area expands, as a result other problems arise and they take a more severe form. For example, regulation of trade and commerce, control of dangerous and unhealthy enterprises, educational facilities, public health etc. With the progress of science and technology, the perception regarding the minimum facilities required for living also starts changing. Therefore, the functions of urban governance are continuously increasing. Existing facilities have to be enhanced. New facilities have to be arranged and continuous improvement has to be made in the process of execution of various works. In other words, it can be said that the responsibility of urban governance is to provide all those facilities which are necessary to make the physical, economic, social and cultural life of the people of a particular area better. Some of these works are of general nature and are related to communities living in other places in terms of both their prevalence and intensity. Therefore, the benefits arising from them cannot be provided exclusively to any one community.
