Rapid urbanisationRapid urbanization and expansion of the urbanUrban area are leading to spatial change and uneven growthGrowth around the citiesCities. The changing land useLand use pattern inside and outside of the city area is a concern where the land conversion is happening with an increase in the built-up area and a decrease in the land under other utilisation. This study has incorporated the spatial expansion of Bardhaman cityBardhaman city of West Bengal, India,India between the time period of 2001, 2011 and 2021. The expansion of the urban area is determined by the changes in the land use land coverLand use land cover between the time period. The Shannon EntropyShannon Entropy model is used for showing the changes around the centre of the city towards the outside. The result shows that there is a rapid increase in the built-up area specifically in certain directions. The land is being converted from agriculture to built-up areas in the periphery of the cityCities. New townships and the development of large projects are taking the agricultural land.
