For infrastructure development and planning, demographic characteristics play an important role. In these demographic characteristics, three urban parameters have been analysed, i.e. percentage of urban population, density of population and urban residency comparing 2001 and 2011 census. Research results depict many drastic and nominal changes in the ranks of 71 districts of Uttar Pradesh and current trend of migration in the state. With these parameters, this paper is mapping urbanisation level of Uttar Pradesh where the number of cities selected for smart city development is highest.
