What is Urban Expansion Analysis in Siliguri about?

The study quantifies urban expansion in the Siliguri urban agglomeration using a model-based approach, specifically the Future Land Use Simulation (FLUS) model. It reveals that Siliguri is experiencing rapid urban sprawl, with projections indicating a significant increase in built-up areas by 2030, which may lead to the loss of cultivated land and green spaces. The research emphasizes the need for more studies on medium-sized cities in India to inform sustainable urban planning and development policies.
