This research paper explores the urbanization trends in Uttar Pradesh, with a specific focus on the city of Lucknow, the state capital known for its rapid growth and development. Using a combination of geospatial analysis and satellite imagery spanning three decades (1991 to 2021), the study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of urban expansion in the city. The findings reveal that Lucknow's built-up area has increased nearly fivefold during this period, driven primarily by edge development and leapfrog growth, which pose challenges such as inefficient land use and increased pressure on infrastructure. The paper also highlights the uneven distribution of urban growth across different city zones, influenced by factors like transportation networks and land-use policies. These trends underscore the urgent need for sustainable urban planning approaches that balance growth with environmental and social considerations. Recommendations include enforcing zoning regulations, promoting infill development, improving public transit, and investing in green infrastructure to guide the city towards a more resilient and sustainable future.
