Great Divergence is a term made popular by Kenneth Pomeranz book titled European Miracle- a term coined by Eric Jones in 1981. Scholars have proposed a wide variety of theories to establish great divergence in the context of geography, culture, colonialism, resources, urbanization etc. Changes in the fringe areas of the cities are widely studied in the United States and the Western States since 1940. The term urban fringe was coined by American geographers describing changes in the population composition of Louisiana, and during the 1940s and 1950s.
The
peri-urban context of various countries is different, especially the fringe
areas of European countries and Sub-Saharan countries are divergent. Some
writers have compared the unprecedented growth of Bengaluru with the situations
of Delhi and Paris. In the case of India, peri-urban growth pattern of each city is different. However peripheral areas of Bengaluru Metropolitan City has undergone rapid transition due to the
unprecedented growth in urbanization, population expansion and IT corridors.
Although Bengaluru has eight peri-urban clusters, each periphery is diverse, the growth of two divergent periphery is traced using Gis based
analysis.
South Bengaluru Periphery Kanakapura Taluk is one among the eight peri urban clusters of Bengaluru. Kanakapura Taluk witnessed gradual expansion as result of rapid growth of Bengaluru city. For the past decade the Taluk has been known relatively large in its population and size. Kanakapura Taluk is known for its connectivity, Physical Infrastructure , Social Infrastructure and Affordable housing and industrial developments. Therefore it is paramount to detect the lulc changes in order to determine its direction of future expansion. Kanakapura Taluk is easily accessible from other suburbs such as Bannerghatta Road, Electronic City and Jayanagar. Connectivity and strong infrastructure has fueled the growth of real estate in Kanakapura Road. The peri-urban influence of Kanakapura Taluk is mainly because of the Bengaluru city influence.
The land use land cover pattern analysis shows there is a gradual change in the lulc pattern in Kanakapura Taluk , Bengaluru . Kanapura Taluk has more of green cover, agricultural land ,over a period of 17 years there is a gradual transition .The agricultural land is gradually changed for other purposes. The South Bengaluru is a growing commercial and residential space. Kanakapura is 56 km from Bengaluru city, however the peri urban growth is due to Bengaluru city influence says Experts. The key drivers of growth include upcoming Metro line, NICE road connectivity, widening of National Highway 209 etc. Kanakapura Taluk has significant development due to industrial and manufacturing units within Kanakapura .As a peripheral location it has gained attention because of influence of Bengaluru, especially NICE road says T.L. Lakshmipathi, Joint Director, Kanakapura LPA. Land Use pattern has changed mainly because of significant infrastructural changes , changing industrial commercial and residential land uses.
East
Periphery Hoskote is 25km away from Bangalore city. It is one
the surrounding satellite towns of Bangalore to Chennai on the North eastern
part of Bangalore. Hoskote is a Taluk headquarter and situated on major transport corridors
.The development in the Metropolitan area of Bangalore extending beyond the
green belt have created lot of potential for areas in and around Hoskote town
.Hoskote located on the eastern side of Bengaluru laying at the intersection of
National Highway (NH) 4 and NH 207.Hoskote is most sought-after by property investors. There is
growing demand for residential options
,his is due to its proximity to the IT
hub of Whitefield as well as the
industrial activity in the region. The peripheral area around Hoskote are surrounded by
IT/ITeS hubs on Old Madras Road, Whitefield, and commercial development in the
north-east quadrant of the Outer Ring Road (ORR). This region is developed due
to demand for residential areas. Moreover
development of the proposed apparel park, self-contained townships,
hospitality projects and improved connectivity via metro has changed the
scenario.
The land use land cover analysis shows the land use changes in Hoskote Taluk from 2000 to 2017.There is change in
the land use pattern over 17 years. Hoskote
Taluk has 54,857 hectares of land.
In 2000 major portion of it was farm land, 32580 ha. That is 59.34 % of
the total land use. However the waste land or fallow land constituted second,
15901 Ha. It is 28.96 % of total land use. But over a period of 17 years the
agrarian land is converted to different other purposes. By the year 2017 farm
land was reduced to 25064 that is 45.69 % where as the built up land has
increased to 3153.95, it is 5.74 % of
the total land use and waste land is 21325.2 that is 38.87% of the total land
use. There is a significant change in
the land use land cover pattern in the Hoskote Taluk. Hoskote is a peripheral
area located on the eastern side of Bengaluru laying at the intersection of
National Highway (NH) 4 and NH 207.Hoskote has close proximity to Whitefield
that is a major IT hub of the city. There is a surge in demand of residential
units, nearby areas such as Hoskote is also on the continuous spree of
development to feed the rising demand from Whitefield. Transition in Hoskote
has taken place after 2010 says Mr.Nagabhooshan, Land expert, Hoskote LPA.
The study reveals divergent nature of Bengaluru periphery. Challenges arise from the ways that cities grow and change especially the emerging mega cities in developing countries. The above two dynamic clusters of South East Bengaluru explore physical and socio economic dynamics of change and helps to understand different levels of change in the peri urban systems in city’s context. Urban sprawl in the form high density, discontinues and dispersed urban development is now a common phenomenon throughout Indian cities. The peri urban acts as a litmus test of change and transition not just locally but in the whole city region or the ‘rural urban region’.
