Urban sprawl prediction models can help us effectively in quantifying future urban sprawl growth and also identify direction and pattern of urban sprawl growth. This approach can help in urban planning and good governance. Also it helps in resource management as identifying urban sprawl growth can also provide information about quantifying increased demand of the resources correctly.
