Kanpur Development Authority is the urban development agency of Kanpur metropolitan area, Uttar Pradesh, India. As the industries in Kanpur grew faster the village population also attracted towards the city. In present time the population of Kanpur city has crossed 30 lakhs(3 million). Due to the rate of growth in population, it was decided that a development authority should be constituted.

There has been a proposal to merge both the authorities to form Kanpur Metropolitan Area Development Authority (KMADA).

In accordance to the Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Act, 1973 Kanpur Development Authority was constituted.
