Urbanization in Bangladesh takes the form of rapid growth of urban population, largely due to natural growth and rural-urban migration. Khagrachari, one of the hill track districts of Bangladesh, is located on the south east side of Chittagong division. Khagrachari pourashava is an A category pourashava. This study represents the urban growth pattern and growth trend of the pourashava area. Golabari, mahajanpara, chinginala, pankhaiapara are some historical settlements of khagrachari pourashava. From 1970 to 1990 there was slow urbanization. But in 2000 and it developed in moderate scale and in 2010 the city become more developed. There are some influencing factors as Topographical factors, proximate factor, Political/safety factor which are responsible for the urban growth of the khagrachari pourashava area.
