The rate of urbanization is an important indicator of economic development and the phenomenon is pronounced throughout the world, be it the developed or the developing world. The city growth identification would help in regional planning for better infrastructure provision in an environmentally sound way. Geographic Information System is an useful tool in interpreting the changes with the help of visual reproduction of different information on maps, which makes it easier to comprehend, and analyse. The process of urbanization of the city was accompanied by a number of impacts that has worsened the environmental scenario. This unabated trend has increased pressure on the limited land available in the city. The growth of the city, no doubt contributes to the economic development of the state, but in a world where sustainable development has become such a debated chant the efforts should be coordinated towards maintaining a rich biological habitat in the city as it is significant in terms of the direct ecological benefits of enabling even the minute of the species to survive and to make the City a beautiful place worth living.
