The focus on the provision of basic amenities and infrastructure has been a major issue in urban planning because of urban growth and sprawl. It is one of the reasons that adversely contributes to the loss of natural resources and encourages unbalanced and uneven urbanization in developing nations like India. The government and planning authorities are increasingly considering regional development to accommodate the incursion of people into downtown urban areas therefore encouraging comprehensive, sustainable development. By a methodological approach and the use of multi-temporal satellite data, this study aims to explain the urban growth along the Bangalore–Mysuru motorway as influenced by the transportation corridor. The objective of the transport corridor development is to increase the efficiency of the corridor's transportation and logistics systems and to spur regional economic growth by taking advantage of better connectivity and transportation infrastructure. A transport corridor can help the region along the corridor achieve more sustainable and spatially balanced economic growth. To analyse the existing development pattern and provide a framework for predicting how land will be used in the future, land use mapping and related data are developed. Later for the analysis, a cellular automata-based model derives the name from the input layers utilized, namely Slope Land use Excluded Urban Transport Hillshade (SLEUTH) was performed to meticulously examine subdivision-level specifics of the area affected by the corridor. The results of this study will aid policymakers and planners in making choices about upcoming urban trends that support a more secure, healthy, efficient, sustainable, and livable urban ecosystem.
