Urban Geography is the branch of human geography that studies urban settlements, their spatial organization, growth, functions, internal structure, and interactions with the surrounding regions. It examines the origin, evolution, distribution, morphology, land use, population characteristics, economic activities, transport systems, housing, environmental conditions, and urban planning. Urban Geography seeks to understand how cities develop, how they function, and how they influence regional, national, and global development. It also studies the relationship between human activities and the urban environment, providing insights for sustainable urban planning and policy formulation. The study of Urban Geography has evolved significantly over time, reflecting changes in geographical thought, technological advancement, and urbanization. Different approaches have emerged to explain the nature, structure, and dynamics of urban areas. The earliest approach is the descriptive or regional approach, which was dominant before the mid-twentieth century.

Cities were studied as unique entities, and emphasis was placed on detailed regional surveys rather than developing general theories. This approach contributed valuable information but lacked scientific methods and comparative analysis. The ecological approach developed under the influence of the Chicago School of Sociology during the early twentieth century. It viewed the city as an ecological system where different social groups compete for space and resources. Concepts such
