Urban Expansion
Urban Expansion StatisticsKm²
Urban Unit1995, 2005, 2015, 2023CityThe temporal urban expansion i.e., the extent of contiguous built-up of an urban area, has been demarcated using multi date high resolution satellite images, for the years 1995, 2005, 2015 and 2023 for the top 50 cities in Punjab.
The Urban Unit created a python-based algorithm inspired by a globally tested methodology developed for urban functional limits definition by the Marron University, Institute at New York UN-Habitat and Lincoln Institute of Land Policy to measure the urban extent for each city. The peripheries of the urban extents were then manually refined to address anomalies in the local context. The same methodology has been used for defining the limits for urban and taxation areas by the Local Government and Excise and Taxation department.
Furthermore, the annual rate of change of the urban extent of each city, for each time interval i.e, 1995 to 2005; 2005 to 2015; and 2015 to 2023; is also reported

The year of construction for additional owned housing units constructed in each year since 2017 has been estimated using the annual growth rate of owned housing units, in the intercensal period from 2023 to 2017. These additional owned housing units, constructed since 2017 have been assigned the period of construction accordingly
