Modeling of Urban Expansion of Greater Hyderabad

Metropolitan Region in India – Scenarios for 2030

Objectives

Development of a spatially explicit urbanization model

- based on socio-economic & topographical characteristics.

Model the spread of urbanization in a fast growing city like Hyderabad

Based on current infrastructure Based on existing Land use Based on population distribution Based on economy

Scope

Model is based on AGENT LUC (‘Anthropogenically Engineered Transformations of Land Use and Land Cover’ )

Captures urban process

Simulates the changes in urban land use patterns.

The major outcomes are urban land use and population growth.

Hyderabad

Rapid growth in population

– almost 30% increase from 2001

Capital of Andhra Pradesh

- state was predominantly agri based

IT exports

- Rs 22 crore in 1995 >> Rs 20000 crore now

Conclusion

The temporal outcome of this research provides policy makers with scenarios that can be employed in effective planning of infrastructure.

The land use in Urban areas changes with changes in GDP and infrastructure.

Future Work

Simulate the effect of Mass transport corridors like Metro rail on Urban land use and Population Distribution

Sharing short-medium-long term action plan with appropriate government departments

Expanding the above model using Urban modeling to fast growing cities like Hyderabad.
