Abstract
According to environmentalists, local weather is influenced by both large-scale global warming and local factors. Changes occurring on a large scale also affect wind speed, direction, rainfall, humidity and sea conditions etc. Local green areas, ponds, forests etc. also contribute to the local weather. The increasing pollution in the atmosphere has changed the nature of the weather. While toxic vehicle smoke, black carbon and dust particles flying due to construction work are making people sick, experts claim that the weather cycle is also changing due to pollution. These all are happening due to urbanization and urban sprawl in Gorakhpur city of Uttar Pradesh. In the last five and a half years, the state government has accelerated the pace of urbanization in the state. Various action plans have been edited towards planned urbanization. Rapid urbanization in Gorakhpur is putting pressure on natural resources and swallowing up existing agricultural land on the city’s periphery. Large-scale conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural uses is increasing the risks of climate change. The paper tries to throw light on different incidences occurring due to urbanization and urban sprawl in Gorakhpur city.
