Abstract
The impact of growth of cities in the change of urban environment especially in the study of land use and land cover change has drawn research attention from scholars in the field of urban studies.
This research is focused on a set of three growing cities of India, Gurgaon, Ranchi, and Jaipur for the analyses of land use/land cover changes for the periods of twenty five years. The overall results show that the built up land has increased whereas the other categories of land have decreased. It is believed that this finding would provide insight to the planners and policy makers for the management of growth related problems of the city regions.
Key words: Urban Growth, RS, GIS, Land Use/Land Cover Change, India
