This paper reports the findings of a study recently conducted in Swat valley Pakistan. The
study seeks to explore how the influx of migrants from rural areas to the city in Mingora has
impacted the socioeconomics, demographics, health facilities and environment during the last decade. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire administered to respondent’s vis-à-vis
personal observation of the area. Urbanization has a lot of economic, social and environmental
impacts on the internal economy of both leading and lagging economies. The present study explores the urbanization and its impact on environment in Mingora, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. It
explores problems which have affected the social life, health and hygiene of the local area. Moreover, multi-dimensional techniques were applied for the exploration of environmental problems
of urbanization. The major findings of the study suggests that urbanization leads to unplanned
industrialization, lack of drainage system, noise, water and air pollution, insufficient management of solid waste materials and evolution of toxic gases from the existing industries. All
these problems give birth to very serious diseases which affect the survival and life standard of
the residents. The study suggests that the government and social workers must plan awareness
programs, industrial sites should be transferred from the residential areas and sanitation and
drainage system must be built to conform to environment friendly set up in order to minimize
environmental issues
