The study revolves around modifications in the LULC, identified concerning Lucknow from 2005-2020 using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The research area was divided into five categories based on comparative analysis, geographic conditions, and remote sensing data. Comparing LULC data between 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 showed a substantial variation in land use classifications in the study area. The data was obtained from the analysis of topo-sheet and satellite images. The result also shows the dynamics and patterns of emerging urban agglomerations concerning peri-urban areas and development plan strategies for future development.
