A city is a large human settlement. People are the main driving force in a city. The dynamism of a city is dependent on people and their behavior. A preliminary understanding of the composition and diverse capabilities of the populations in a city should be the key to a successful urban study. This section provides a description of the demographic status and trends in the city, primarily based on 2012 census data, presenting an overall view of the population. Trends and patterns of urban population are discussed including aspects of demography such as age, sex, ethnicity, education levels; and overall observations with regard to migration patterns, suburban population and gender. Understanding the demographic and composition patterns of the population within the existing physical boundary will help in planning a livable city.
