Abstract	Urbanisation involves the growth of population and industrial activities in cities, often fuelled by migration from rural areas. In India, rapid and unplanned urban expansion has led to severe environmental problems such as air and noise pollution, water contamination, land encroachment, and poor waste management. Bhagalpur City, a growing urban centre in Bihar, is facing similar challenges. This study assesses the impact of urbanisation on air and water quality, rising population, and increasing vehicle density. Based on secondary data from government reports and pollution control boards, the study reveals that unregulated urban growth in Bhagalpur is harming environmental health and reducing the quality of life. Issues like traffic congestion, unmanaged slums, and inefficient waste disposal are major concerns. To ensure sustainable development, coordinated efforts between government agencies and local citizens are essential, focusing on planned urban development and improved environmental infrastructure.
Keywords	Urbanisation, Waste Management, Pollution, Resources, Environment.
