This study proposes an estimation method for assessing urban sprawl using multispectral remote sensing data and geographic information-system techniques. It also suggests a suitable location for a new urban town in Lahore to mitigate urbanization and increased electrical-power consumption.
This article proposes an estimation method for assessing urban sprawl using multispectral remote sensing data: SNPP-VIIRS, DMSP/OLS, Landsat 5-7m, and Landsat 8-OLI This study focuses on the impacts of human activities, in terms of increased electrical-power consumption (EPO due to urbanization. For this purpose, night-time light data are used to measure the EPC growth from 2000 to 2020. We also perform a suitability analysis using geographic information-systems techniques to propose a new urban town in Lahore to mitigate urbanization and EPC increase. We found an overall increase of 33% in urban area and an EPC increase of 21.6% in the last two decades. We alsofind that the best proposed site for the new urban town is in the northwest of Lahore..
