DYNAMICS OF URBAN SPATIAL GROWTH AND PLANNING: A CASE STUDY OF PESHAWAR
This paper traces the spatial growth of Peshawar, one of the major cities of Pakistan. Data andinformation for the study were collected from historic maps, documents and satellite images. The analysisshows that the city has been growing at a rapid pace adding about 500 ha of land annually in recent yearsand in the absence of planning control has seen tremendous urban sprawl. The pattern of development of urbansprawl in Peshawar is typical of most Pakistani major cities, where ribbon sprawl is common along majorroads, while leapfrog sprawl is prevalent in the city’s fringes. The uncontrolled expansion in the built up areais typically consuming rich agricultural land and pose a threat to food security. The study highlighting thecauses of urban sprawl, discusses some of the strategic and policy options that are available to control theirproliferation for sustainable development of the city in future.
