Urbanization is a basic element of human society’s dynamics. It is a process of transformation from traditional, rural economies to modern, commercial one that comes with changes at spatial, social, economical and environmental level. Urbanization not only concentrates people(less than 3%%%% area of the globe is urbanized) it also creates hot spot for energy consumption, natural resource consumption and emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases, and act as nodes linking communication and transport infrastructure- themselves all too often a source of pressure on the surrounding environment (Herald Martin, 2010)
