SMART CITY PLANNING IN HYDERABAD : INTEGRATING GIS FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN GROWTH
Abstract
Urban expansion in Hyderabad has accelerated due to rapid population growth, economic development, and infrastructural advancements, leading to unplanned settlements, traffic congestion, and environmental degradation. Traditional urban planning methods fail to address these challenges effectively. This study integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to develop a predictive urban expansion model, enabling accurate forecasting of land use changes, high-risk growth zones, and infrastructure needs. Using machine learning algorithms (Random Forest, CNN, LSTM) and multi-temporal remote sensing data, the study analyzes spatial trends, environmental impact, and urban heat island effects. The findings highlight the loss of 40% green cover, increased congestion, and rising pollution levels by 2045. This research provides data-driven recommendations for smart city planning, sustainable resource management, and climate-resilient urban policies, ensuring Hyderabad's transformation into a well-planned, environmentally sustainable, and technologically advanced smart city
