Bangalore is one of the fastest-growing cities in India. It in the southern part of India and has become an economical and political center of the region. This paper aims to report the system of urban development in Bangalore and clarify characteristics of residents in suburban areas. Bangalore became the country's fourth-largest metropolis in 2001, having a population of 5.69 million. The city was well on its way to industrialization, thanks to foreign and domestic investment.

Most of houses were constructed for economically weaker sections of the households. In most Indian cities, urban development is entrusted to each state development authority or housing board. In Bangalore, however, the BDA makes a master plan, develops housing estates, and supplies houses for the urban middle class. Recently, the BDA has begun to supply high income group and middle income group type houses in the municipal areas. The Karnataka Housing Board (KHB), whose territory is the whole of Karnataka State, also supplies housing in Bangalore.
