Developing nations have a higher rate of urbanization than the developed nations. As a result of accelerated economic development, the developing nations are facing the uncontrolled expansion of the urban centres ensuing dramatic landscape changes [1]. Unrestricted change in landscape escalates loss of green cover, fertile land, and environmental degradation. Urbanization is closely associated with the growth of population and is a significant driver of land use and land cover changes [2]. One of the key reasons for urbanization is industrialization, which leads to largescale urban expansion by encroaching on agricultural lands. Over-crowded cities with limited resources are compelling people to move out in the fringe areas, which in numerous ways, has adverse impacts on the environment. Urbanization is an inevitable process, but efforts can be made to influence and regulate the growth process using urban land use planning interventions to safeguard natural resources and meet demands of the city residents as well, to make the whole process sustainable. Hence, there is an increasing need for accurate mapping and monitoring of changes in the urban environment. Urban India accommodated 377 million people (31.2% of total population), the second largest urban population in the world as per Census 2011 [3]. According to United Nation’s estimate in 2014, by the year 2050, half of India’s populations are expected to live in urban areas [4]. Many Indian large cities, especially the large metropolises and metropolitan regions are facing challenges with respect to their growth, composition, spatial spread, congestion, Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism
