Due to urbanization over the world, all the important cities particularly in recently developed or developing countries are subjected to increase suitable public accommodation and transportation facilities. To cope with such rising demand from increasing population, high rises buildings of increasing heights have been adopted in all big cities in world. Newtown is being cover up over the he barren marshy land on the eastern boarder of city of Kolkata. Massive development is being made over a small time period and over an area where there is hardly any construction till date. Further this sub-soil condition is not at all known quantitatively. However within the recent few years large numbers of structures and facilities have already been constructed for which detail soil-explorations have been made. However in these new cities for construction of buildings with less than two-storied soil exploration is not compulsory but more than two-storied for any commercial or industrial projects soil exploration is mandatory. To help proper construction for builders of less than two-storied and permit data for others for planning and estimating the budgets of proposed project soil mapping of this area will be highly beneficial. With this view, the soil mapping of this Newtown has been undertaken in this project.
