Abstract: Rapid urbanisation with an increase in urban population from 28.3% (in 1950) to 50% (in 2010) is witnessed in megacities in India. Urbanisation is one of the demographic issues in the 21st century and understanding the changes in the land is imperative for sustainable management of natural resources and to mitigate changes in climate. This would help the city planners to plan to mitigate the problems associated with the increased urban area and population, and ultimately build a sustainable city.
