Urban landscape has undergone dramatic changes in most of the developing countries as a result of unplanned urban growth which needs to be analysed and understood for future planning purpose. Such growth has been facilitated by rapid development in transport and communication and new opportunities mostly found in the surrounding regions of an urban area. This kind of growth later on takes different shapes in different directions. It can be effectively mapped and precisely analyzed with the help of statistical approach and application of RS and GIS techniques. Google map, LISS IV, Landsat images of Sonarpur-Rajpur (South 24 Parganas, West Bengal) city and its surroundings have been used to monitor the urban growth pattern during 1980 and 2010.
