<jats:p> The present article attempts to show how distance from the urban centre plays an important role in transformation of infrastructure in the peripheral area of cities which is termed as urban fringe of Aligarh city. The distributional pattern of the indicators of infrastructure shows that their values decline along as we move from the city towards the peripheral area of an urban fringe. As we move from the centre of the city, the infrastructure facilities decline with the increase in distance. The nature of the urban fringe varies considerably according to the level of urbanisation, the economy and the geographical location from the urban centre. It is a common understanding that urban growth not only impacts natural and built environment but it also influences infrastructural structure in the urban fringe. Urbanisation offers livelihood choices for people in the urban fringe and also provides them better access to urban services and infrastructure. </jats:p>
