Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur is a city in the East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand state in eastern India. It stretches along two rivers and consists of wide industrial areas, housing blocks and green spaces connected by broad streets.

An industrialist from Mumbai founded the settlement in the early 20th century as a site for a steel mill. The facility transformed the entire region and drew thousands of workers with their families.

In the wide parks and along the riverbanks, families spend time walking or picnicking. The division of the city into separate zones for work, housing and leisure shapes daily routines and social habits.

A large railway station connects the place with other Indian cities and offers several daily services. The signposting is good and most facilities are easy to reach on foot or by local transport.

The entire urban infrastructure was planned and built by a single company, creating an unusual uniformity in the cityscape. Many street names and public buildings still bear the names of engineers and managers from the founding era.
