Abstract
Urbanization is one of the most widespread anthropogenic causes of the loss of arable land, habitat destruction, and the decline in natural vegetation cover. The present study is aimed at assessing the urbanization in Delhi over the period of 19 years (1992-2010) using remote sensing technology and spatial functionalities technique in Geographical Information System (GIS). Remote sensing data provide valuable and moreover spatio-temporal data on the processes and patterns of LULC change, and GIS is useful for mapping and analyzing these patterns. In this study I explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of urban expansion and LULC change of Delhi from 1992 to 2010.
