Kolkata: A study of contemporary urban form from regional perspective Khatua Sarani UGC Post-Doctoral Researcher, Centre for Urban Economic Studies, University of Calcutta. E-mail: saranikhatua@gmail.com Online published on 9 October, 2018. Abstract Defned as the urban age, the twenty-frst century brought with it new aspirations as well challenges of urban development throughout, from local to global. Manifested in various forms from small towns to large urban agglomerations, urban space is central to the study in various disciplines. Nonetheless this has not put the focus off on the large agglomerations and metropolitan regions. Kolkata Metropolitan Area (KMA) and the agglomeration constituted within it, the Kolkata Urban Agglomeration (KUA) have formed much earlier than the onset of present urban age, but its signifcance in the recent development is beyond doubt. This study into Kolkata from regional perspective or beyond the core city in the contemporary timespan, reviews census data, government reports and various other sources to discuss the changes, aspirations as well as challenges of the metropolitan region.
