ABSTRACT
Land, a prime resource to sustain life is rapidly transforming due to human activity. Urban sprawl being one of them drives land use land cover changes. Though sprawl is predominantly discussed with reference to built-up area the rural-urban interface it is a highly potential zone for development. The paper aims to compare urbanization trends across global cities, undergoing significant changes in their peri urban landscapes. Industrialization, affordable housing, and transport infrastructure have been some of the key factors contributing to these sprawl conditions. The study will aid decision makers to consider the different dimensions in designing future sustainable cities.
