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. It was the oldest urban development agency of Kolkata and made significant impact on the city's urban geography and pattern of urban growth. It was merged with the larger Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority in 2017 to increase efficiency and cut costs.
