Geographic information system and remote sensing techniques are effective tools for the dynamicanalysis of land use land cover transformations. This project examines the use of Remote Sensing in mapping Land UseLand Cover in District Haripur between 1985 and 2015 so as to detect the changes that has taken place in this statusbetween these periods. Subsequently, an attempt was made at projecting the observed land use land cover in these years.The result of the work shows a rapid growth in built-up land between 1985 and 2015. To understand the spatio temporaldynamics of the city’s growth, Satellite or Airborne images give urban planners comprehensive interpretations of largeareas which allow them to lay plans for future urban development effectively.
