Uploaded on 2015-06-05 by AzherRashid
Though land can be considered as a stock in nature when considering a city in theory,but most cities around the world expand to fulfill the needs of its ever increasing population.The city of Hyderabad is no different, it currently occupies a land area of 625 square kilometres,and with the introduction of the metro rail it will keep expanding to faraway places that were once considered the outskirts of the city.Hence it land in the context of a city structure can be categorized as a flow.
