Abstract: *Town Planning Towards City Development (Part I) – Indore, 1918* offers an in-depth overview of early urban planning in Indore, detailing efforts to modernize the city. It begins with a city survey and addresses key issues such as public health, water supply, drainage, housing, and industrial development. The volume emphasizes planned extensions, sanitation, park development, and the improvement of neglected quarters, especially on the east bank. It also covers school planning and infrastructure around the railway station and suburbs. This work reflects a comprehensive, health- and welfare-focused approach to city planning during the colonial period in India.
