Himachal
Pradesh is predominantly a hilly region and
with the development of network of various infrastructures,
the Urban areas in the State are now fast growing.
Himachal Pradesh comprises the former Hill States and
area ceded from Punjab and as per 2001 census, the population
of Himachal Pradesh is 60.77 lacs out of which 90.22%
are living in villages and remaining 9.78% are living
in Urban areas.During
the last decade(1991-2000) the urban population
has increased by 17.54% and this upward trend
is likely to continue in future which will result
into more & more areas coming under the definition
of towns. This has thrown new challenges in the
administration of Local Self Government.
In order to meet out these challenges of urbanization,
the Directorate of Urban Development is a step forward
towards efficient urban administration in a phased and
coordinated manner.

The
executive committee felt that the objectives of
the Planning Commission for the preparation of city
Development plans and their integration with the
state plans will not be fulfilled unless a small
cell in created in each state taking up these problems
and for guiding the local bodies in the preparation
of their schemes and plans. It was resolved that
while the state Government should meet the full
cost of setting-up of the Directorate of Urban Local
Bodies the expenditure connected with the setting-up
of a city development Plan cell in these Directorates
should be met from a 100% grant from the centre.
Such a grant will be conditional on the setting-up
of a Directorate of Urban Local Bodies
