2. Land Use Pattern & Change<br />

Rapid spread and densification of the <strong>Indore</strong> city has occurred<br />

over the period of time. Patterns of land use land cover change<br />

of the past four decades indicate growth being guided by the<br />

socio-economic processes which include population growth,<br />

economic development, trade, intellectual capital, location<br />

advantage and migration.<br />

As per the real estate planners, about 100,000 additional<br />

houses are required annually to meet the growing housing<br />

demands of the city. This intensification of land-use can<br />

significantly and strongly magnify the effects of extreme<br />

climate events (change in water use, micro-climate, urban heat<br />

and energy balance etc.). Further, climate change scenarios and<br />

urbanization trend indicate the possibility of competing<br />

demands rising from upstream irrigation, energy generation<br />

and urban users.<br />
