The availability of remote sensing satellite data at various spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions provides enormous opportunity to map the urban sprawl. When coupled with Geographic Information System (GIS) it is possible to evaluate, analyse and integrate large data. We need to understand and quantify the urban sprawl on spatial and temporal scales which forms a basis for better planning and sustainable management of cities and towns. The city of Ranchi has witnessed unprecedented urban growth after assuming the status of a capital of Jharkhand state, India in 2000. The increasing population has put pressure on the natural resources of the city. The urban growth has been in a haphazard manner at the cost of agricultural lands, forest land and open green spaces such as park, garden and recreational forestry. The present study analysed the urban sprawl in Ranchi city, using Landsat data from 1976, 2002 and 2015. The study revealed that the annual urban growth rate was 1.76 ha/yr over the period from 1976 to 2002 whereas the annual growth rate was 2 ha/yr over the period from 2002 to 2015. The northern side of the city has witnessed more expansion in 2002 when compared with the growth in 1976. Increase in urban density was seen at the distances of 3, 4,5,6,7 and 8km between 1976 and 2015 and the rate was higher than 25%.The driving factors of the development were infrastructure, educational and business expansion. Thus, spatial analyses of urban sprawl are a prerequisite for curbing the unplanned urban growth and ensure sustainable living.

“…It will allow 3.3 million job opportunity and projecting up to USD444 billion in investments by next year. The built-up area from the city centre to 50 km outward the city is decreased because of the high intensity and floor space in the city centre (Boori et al, 2015b). The influence of planning permission in the conversion of land and change of building use allowed most of the developers and owner to change their land or building into a profitable asset.…”

The urban development in the City Centre of Kuala Lumpur contributed to the Gross National Income of Malaysia. Current practice in Malaysia tends to set an allocation of high-intensity development that is mostly focusing on City Centre Commercial (CCC) while setting different priority allocated for other Centers. Compounding this issue, Malaysia is now experiencing unbalanced land use distribution and changes within the urban centre which lead to leap-frog urban sprawl toward suburb, as well as different plot ratio placed at the maximum cap by the authority in City Center lead to the saturated build-up and downsizing the high-rise development. The possible solution to curb the severity of these issues lie in identifying the growth pattern in the change of land use and expansion that create the limitation of development. The identification of land use change plays an important role in delivering an accurate feasibility study and in structuring an effective strategic plan for improvement of planning standard for the authority. This paper analyses the information through remote sensing approach by identifying the urban growth pattern for KL City Centre using satellite image (1989 to 2019) and examine the influence of different plot ratio to the built-up area in City Centre which complies with the Local Authority Standard. In detail, the focus directed towards understanding the City Centre growth by determining the built-up area expansion, in addition to analyzing the implementation of plot ratio control through land use zoning. The study has found the urban growth expansion/ limitation of development.
