“…Resultantly, the unplanned and congested residential localities like Duglus Pura; Sant Nagar; Dhobi Ghaat; Islam Nagar emerged. These observations corroborate the notions that integrated management of urban environmental resources is a prerequisite for the socio-ecological resilience of urban life (Atif et al 2018a).…”

“…This massive migration is attributable to the peculiar historic (Farooq et al 2005;Farah et al 2012;Safder and Babar 2019), social (Lopes and Farooq, 2020), economic (Chiesura and De Groot 2003;de Molina and Toledo 2014;Gilani et al 2020), environmental (Shaheen et al 2020) and geo-strategic (Shaheen et al 2020) dynamics of this region. The ensuing speed and impacts of urbanization in Pakistan (Nisar et al, 2013) are straining the urban land resources (Atif et al 2018b;Atif et al 2018a). It entails comprehending the dynamic and consequential impacts of the resultant changes in urban landscapes (Shao et al 2005).…”

“…The findings infer that these resource-stricken regions are rapidly transforming under the influence of globalization. The lack of awareness, capacity building, inconsistencies in the land-use policies, and paucity of resources are exacerbating the urban environmental degradation in these regions (Atif et al 2018a;Bokhari et al 2018;Amir et al 2020). Resultantly, the urban environmental dilapidation is more pronounced in these countries as compared to the developed ones (Ahern et al 2014;Cohen 2006).…”

An attempt has been made to compare the salient characteristics of LULC transformations in planned (Faisalabad) and quasi-planned (Jhang) urban settlements of Pakistan. The Landsat-5 TM, Landsat 7 EMT+ and Landsat-8 images of 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2019, respectively, were retrieved and processed through google earth engine. The dynamics of LULC critically analyzed for the three periods 1989–1999, 1999–2009 and 2009–2019. The LULC analyzed in terms of quantity of change, gains, losses, and persistence of the study area examined carefully. The study mainly focuses on the LULC transformations of the previous 30 years (1989–2019). These 30 years witnessed massive physical expansions and LULC convergences. During this time interval, the built-up areas in these cities expanded, and productive agricultural land substantially squeezed. The spatialtemporal analysis of LULC changes calls for improvised strategies for the resilience of land and environmental resources. The direct beneficiaries of this research are resource managers and regional planners as well as others scientific community.

“…The proposed study is different from the above-mentioned research, as it simultaneously assesses LULC modifications in both Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The comparative assessment is vitally required but not available in the context of this [24]. In addition, the study carried out by [34] is quite relevant.…”

Rapid urbanization in Pakistan is triggering regulated and unregulated land cover changes in planned and semiplanned urban areas. The key objective of this study is to assess the spatial–temporal fluctuations in the land use/land cover (LULC) transformations in planned (Islamabad) and semiplanned (Rawalpindi) urban areas over the last forty years (1976–2016). The study focuses on the orientation of LULC modifications and analyzes concomitant impacts on urban environmental sustainability. Therefore, remotely sensed data were retrieved and processed through Google Earth Engine (GEE) by applying supervised classifier algorithms on each of the five chosen Landsat images. The trajectory of LULC changes for each of the four periods 1976–1988, 1988–1995, 1995–2006 and 2006–2016 was critically scrutinized. The observations revealed massive physical expansions and LULC convergences during these timeframes. The proportionate share of built-up surfaces in this contextual setting substantially stretched from 0.83% in 1976 to 23.23% in 2016, while the shares of cropland and shrubberies significantly reduced. The orientation and magnitude of such changes were observed asymmetrically in the adjoining urban settlements. The assessments formulate that availability of land for urban growth, urban planning and regulatory control significantly determines the speed, scale and orientation of urbanization in planned and semiplanned areas. The study substantiates the notions that the efficient use of cost-effective remotely sensed data offers a pragmatic and reliable tool for assessing, evaluating and monitoring urban land resources. The inferences and insights are relevant for urban and regional planners as well as for other scientific communities.
