In this context, understanding the significance of urban population dynamics of Sri Lanka is vital to address issues related to urban dwellers. The objectives of this paper are to identify urban population dynamics related issues and fundamental pillars of sustainable urban development in relation to Sri Lanka. This paper uses secondary data mainly taken from the Department of Census and Statistics. In addition, qualitative data from field observations made in selected urban settlement communities in Colombo district are also employed.
