Abstract

Spatiao-Temporal residential growth indicates the spatial and temporal proportions
of land cover/land use change at the level of the urban landscape.Lahore has undergone various
changes over the years. The largest perhaps being the scale in its crowding and the urban growth. Its
rural landscape is being swallowed with a great pace due to invasion of urban areas causing urban
growth of unprecedented nature and this insertion into the urban arena is without any urban policy both
at the provincial and local level. In order to understand the spatial and temporal pattern of residential
growth of Lahore, which is necessary for future urban planning and policy management, current study
of Lahore is done.
