## Abstract India’s urban population is expected to grow from 410 million in 2014 to 814 million by 2050, as per the TERI document. If urban growth continues to grow at this rate, to accommodate new urban population, large amount of urban land will be required. With the fact that, the land is an important and limited resource, the need to find the way to use it efficiently and smartly is essential. For that, first step is to understand the existing urban morphology and its impact on land utilization in the current scenario. This will help to understand how efficiently is the urban land utilized in Indian cities, if we compare the study with other world cities. The main concern of the research is – 1. How efficiently is the urban land utilized in India’s cities? 2. What is the role of Development Control Regulations (DCRs) in the efficiency of land utilization? 3. How utilization of urban land can be improved with respect to DCRs? For the study, urban land is classified in three parts public realm, building footprints and private open space.
