Abstract
City is the ultimate destination where people fulfill their demands and enjoy a standard life. Growing facilities with urbanization increase their choice availability. Subsequently, socio-economic development around the city occurs with the development of the city. But, the development does not occur in all places at the same rate. So, the hierarchical arrangement of urban centres are seen in population and function. The present composition is an effort to show hierarchical alignment and influenced areas of industrial towns in Paschim Bardhaman District. It seeks to explain how the industrial cities have evolved and spread their dominance beyond their administrative boundary with the relation of socio-economic transformation.
