The Kolkata Improvement Trust, initially known as the Calcutta Improvement Trust or simply the C.I.T., was a statutory body under the Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Department of the Government of West Bengal.[1] It was the oldest urban development agency of Kolkata and made significant impact on the city's urban geography and pattern of urban growth.[2] It was merged with the larger Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority in 2017 to increase efficiency and cut costs.
