Multi-Temporal LULC Change and Future Urban Expansion in Faridpur Municipality, Bangladesh: A CA-ANN Based Simulation

Raiyan, Ebadullah Khan, Ali Ashrafi Sultana

Urban Planning and Construction · 17-38 · 10.55121/upc.v4i2.103060

The study examines land use and land cover (LULC) conversions and forecasts future urban growth in Faridpur Municipality, Bangladesh. Despite substantial urbanization in recent years, smaller cities such as Faridpur have been largely absent from LULC studies. Using Landsat data from 2004, 2014, and 2024, the research employed Ma
