Vijayawada is an area undergoing rapid urbanization partly because of swift population growth and infrastructure developments. Nonetheless, effective planning in urban areas has been absent and this has led to environment degradation and socio-economic imbalance in a few areas in terms of lack of access to adequate resources and inequality of intake. The scope of the present project is to detect and analyze the urban sprawl phenomena in Vijayawada using GEE and the SVM algorithm. The study uses satellite data from 1990 until 2024, identifies critical drivers of urban growth, and offers spatial insights into supporting sustainable urban planning. The project incorporates land cover classification and change detection, which permits a holistic overview of development patterns over time. Further results suggest important land conversion in peri-urban areas that correlate with socio-economic factors and infrastructure developments. These would enable urban planners to outline policies that support growth in sustainable ways-that is, according to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 11) to build inclusive, resilient cities.
