Abstract
The present study aims to examine the spatial and temporal analysis of Hisar city urban area. This study has been conducted in the context of two reference years at an interval of 15 years i.e., 2005 and 2020 but census data of 2001 and 2011 is taken for study. The whole study is entirely based on secondary sources of data collected from various published and unpublished records of Municipal Corporation, Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana Space Application Centre, Hisar and Census of India sites. This study shows that with the increase in population a city develops almost in every direction in outward area if any physical or infrastructural hurdle does not appear like Hisar Cantonment Zone and part of Hisar Bir. In the case of Hisar city, the city expands towards the East direction along Delhi road and North direction along Sirsa and Chandigarh roads mainly because of industrialization, education and health facilities. Hisar city area expands from 45.43 Sq.kms. to 91.24 Sq.kms. in 2005 to 2020 whereas its ward numbers decreased from 31 to 20 in 2020 as compare to 2005.
