The concept of Urban sprawl has many different aspects, which includes the expansion of a city and its outskirts to low-density and auto-dependent development on rural land. Urban sprawl directly impacts traffic congestion, high oil consumption, and many other issues. It is evident that urban sprawl has negative impacts on both air quality and public health, which affects the human health condition. This results in health issues for inner-city residents, air pollution and many other ecological problems. Urban sprawl has gained popularity in academic discourse in recent times, but the majority of the research was conducted in developed countries. This research article is mainly for the character and nature of urban sprawl in Imphal City, although the city is experiencing one of the fastest rates of sprawl. Urbanisation in Imphal City is very rapid, and in addition to the emerging challenges of globalisation, climate and ecological change, Imphal City has an enormous task to manage urban sprawl. The purpose of this research paper is to determine the impact of urban sprawl on the ecological balance of Imphal city.
