“…These facilities promote migration from nearby urban areas and villages, and the majority settle in the outskirts due to low housing costs. Such pattern of urban growth was also observed in other cities (Jat et al, 2008a , b ; Al-sharif et al, 2017 ; Hasnine & Rukhsana, 2020 ). Other factors that might have promoted urban growth include, but are not limited to, lower price of land under vegetation and other land cover categories (agriculture, water body, wetlands, and fallow land), unauthorized or illegal construction in ecologically fragile areas such as forests and water bodies, weak coordination among the UA authorities, and absence of laws which prevents the conversion of agricultural and other natural land covers.…”

In recent decades, medium-sized Indian cities have experienced accelerated urban growth due to the saturation of large cities. Such rapid urban growth combined with inadequate urban planning has triggered urban sprawl in medium-sized Indian cities. In this context, the present study focuses on the geospatial measurement of urban sprawl in four rapidly expanding Indian medium-sized cities located in diverse physiographic regions, such as Lucknow urban agglomeration (UA), Bhubaneswar UA, Raipur UA, and Dehradun UA. Multi-temporal Landsat imageries from 1991 to 2021 were downloaded for land cover classification through the maximum likelihood classification tool in ArcGIS 10.3. Thereafter, spatiotemporal land cover change detection was performed based on the classified land cover maps. The presence of urban sprawl was detected using the relative entropy index while the urban expansion index quantified the urban sprawl typologies such as edge expansion, leapfrog development, and ribbon development. The results exhibited a rapid rise in built-up land cover from 1991 to 2021. The prevalence of urban sprawl was detected in all four cities as per the relative entropy index. Edge expansion typology of urban sprawl was dominant compared to leapfrog development and ribbon development. Such urban growth phenomenon creates a hindrance in promoting sustainable urban development in medium-sized Indian cities. The results obtained from this paper would assist urban planners and policymakers in developing strategies to encourage planned urban growth. This paper exhibits the potential of geoinformatics to monitor and analyze urban sprawl.

“…Natural vegetation, water bodies are considered to be the breathing space for the urban settings. Natural vegetations help to reduce the environmental pollution, urban surface run off and also controls the atmospheric temperature of the urban locales [5].

“…Majority of the research work have been done from the urban planning perspective (Figure 1). Urban planners are mostly involved in managing the placement of urban infrastructural facilities in such a way that it can bring sustainable long-term solution to the urban socio-economic problems [4], [5], [6]. The complex studies on planning feasibility have been done by the urban planners.…”

Urban environmental degradation is a common phenomenon through out the world. Sustainable urban planning is the key concern for the betterment of the overall urban environmental health. The present study is being focused on the issue of sustaoinable urban planning through the lenses of Landuse landcover pattern of two planned urban centers of West Bengal, namely Saltlake and New Town. Landuse and Landcover maps have been prepared using Landsat 8 images of both the urban centers. Secondary data based on air polution level of these two urban centers have been compared to identify the impact of landuse and land cover on the environment. An comperative analysis have been done between two urban centers in terms of policy implementations also. Finally the research work is aimed to come a comclusion about the effectiveness of sustainable urban planning in both these towns and in general. Literature ReviewUrban sustainability is a growing field of interest among the researchers. Before delving into the analytical side

“…[2] This unprecedented urbanization is due to the current most significant demographic transition of this century from rural to urban areas and the growth of the peri-urban regions because of economic opportunities and the choice of people to live in nearby urban areas. [3,4] The inevitable outcome of this transition is the spatial extension of towns and cities beyond their city limits and into their peripheries and hinterland to provide settlement to the growing population (Mohammadian, Tavakoli, and Khani, 2017). This rapid urban expansion of urban areas has placed high pressure on urban land resources.…”

Speedy technological, social, political, demographic, and urban developments continued to change the scale of the cities worldwide. Therefore, it becomes essential to model urban growth to minimize future uncertainties. Therefore, it is critical to investigate how cities grow and how researchers investigate which factors influence city growth. Using bibliometric methods, this study intends to pinpoint the publishing patterns and expansion potential of Urban Growth Modelling (UGM) works, providing a better understanding and possible future research paths. All published articles on the 'Urban Growth model' from Scopus were identified and analyzed using the Bibliometric R-package and VOSviewer software. 218 publications were identified from 1983 to 2023, published in 103 journals, and 25 book chapters contributed by 557 authors, with a 2.7 collaboration Index and 2.56 authors per document. The high-frequency keywords used in recent years are urban growth, land use, remote sensing, urban planning, cellular automaton, urban development, modeling, urbanization, Geographic Information System (GIS), and land use change. Research papers published in Computers, Environment, and Urban Systems are the most cited, with 1047 total citations, h-index 13. The most active country was China, with a total of 38 documents. The most cited paper for UGM research is titled 'Modelling urban growth in Atlanta using logistic regression' , which received over 378 citations. The study's findings offer milestones, a starting point for important research productivity data, and an understanding of how UGM research has evolved. This will help to estimate and assess the rate of urbanization, its location, and the consequences of before and after development before it gets stranded in unsuitable and unsustainable pathways.
