This is resulting not only in depletion of bio diversities but also a reason for major urban issues like flooding, soil erosion, earthquake, several diseases, etc. Numerous Indian cities face this issue due to unplanned developments which result in change of land use and land cover. The study assesses the change in the land use and land cover (LULC) pattern of the Guwahati city using Landsat imageries for the year 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. Five broad classes were analyzed based on their spectral reflectance signature on the Arc GIS platform using image classification tool and overall accuracy was checked. As a result, it was observed that the natural and semi-natural areas, wetlands and water bodies, eco-fragile areas have decreased in the past decades while there is a huge increase in built-up areas which is responsible for problems majorly like flash floods, degradation of natural resources by excessive cutting of hills, unhealthy local environment, etc. Therefore, there is a drastic need to make the city climate resilient by efficient urban planning policy and strategies.
