ABSTRACT:
Urban growth in developing countries, particularly in India, has accelerated significantly over the past few decades and the rapid expansion of built-up areas has led to various socio-economic and environmental issues, necessitating a thorough investigation into the dynamics of urban growth. Many metropolitan cities face immense challenges related to land-use change, characterised by a complex interplay between real estate indicators (such as property prices, rental rates, and industrial area rates) and socioeconomic factors. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective urban planning and policy-making, especially in the context of sustainability and resilience. This research aims to analyse the spatial dynamics of urban growth and land-use change to identify urbanization patterns influenced by real estate factors and assess their impacts on land use, ultimately informing sustainable urban development strategies. The analysis utilizes satellite imagery for land use and land cover classification and incorporates real estate data, such as property prices, rental prices, and industrial area prices, for analysis of its influence in changing the land use of the region. The metropolitan area of Mumbai, India, has experienced significant urban expansion, making it a unique case for studying the interactions between real estate development and land-use change. The findings highlight areas experiencing pronounced changes, providing insights into the nature of urban development and revealing how real estate development influences land-use changes, including the main old spaces and the new development regions. This study underscores the necessity for data-driven policies that promote sustainable urban development in rapidly growing metropolitan cities.
