Abstract: Urbanization today has become one of the most important factors of development and modernization. In the beginning, the studies of Urbanization were extended to smaller ethno–cultural communities in large western Cities (like the Negors of Harlem) and then were extended to other countries outside the Western civilization. In the poor state like Manipur (India), urbanization does not have a long history though witnessed growth in urbanization trends. To analyze the trends of urbanization with particular reference to the urban structure, the impact of urbanization in urban ways of life and role of women in economic development are some of the important dimensions of our study. The present study is based on primary and secondary data and has an exploratory cum descriptive research design based on sample method. For further convenient of the study multi stage random sample has been made. The degree of social and economic aspects of urban mentality is quite high. Although no definite trends are visible in the case of relationship and interaction patterns yet the total analysis is indicative of an increasing trend towards urbanism in the area under study. It may be said that urbanization is taking place in the area under study resulting in urbanism and the growth and development of modern mentality.
