The Effect of Urbanization on Native Plant Species in Indore

Author(s) Dr. Pramila Sadhav
Country India
Abstract Urbanization can profoundly alter local ecosystems, often threatening native plant species. This study examines the effect of rapid urbanization on native flora in Indore, Madhya Pradesh from 2010 to 2025, with special reference to species such as chickpea, Plumeria rubra ‘Acutifolia’, pearl millet, pigeon pea, Chinese hibiscus, and other regional plants. Through a doctrinal research methodology, we synthesize data from scholarly articles, books, government reports, and news sources to assess land-use changes, biodiversity trends, and conservation efforts. Indore’s population boom and city expansion have converted agricultural land and green spaces into built-up areas at an unprecedented rate. Preliminary findings indicate a decline in native species richness concurrent with urban sprawl, as well as the replacement of indigenous plants by exotic ornamentals in urban landscapes. The literature review also reveals research gaps in localized long-term biodiversity monitoring and the integration of native species in urban planning. The discussion addresses these gaps by aligning seven key thematic insights with the study’s objectives. Ultimately, this article underscores the importance of preserving native plant diversity amid urban growth, highlighting Indore as a case study for balancing development with ecological sustainability.
