Unplanned urban expansion has changed the land use and cover (LULC), especially in emerging cities and towns. Due to minimal or inadequate planning efforts and rapid urban population increase, many Indian cities are experiencing issues with unexpected LULC transformation. The Silchar Municipal Corporation is among one of those urban agglomeration which faces such issues. The current study evaluates the LULC's trajectory using Landsat imageries acquired in 2014 and 2023. The spatial depiction of four classes of built-up, waterbody, barren agricultural land and dense vegetation shows a significant amount of change for the year 2014 to 2023. Therefore, the study's spatial data are intended to aid in understanding the dynamics of urban expansion and the pattern of changing land cover. The outcome can help decision-makers, stakeholders, and other government agencies to make the best decisions possible with relation to scarce land-based resources to secure an economically successful and environmentally sustainable future. Additionally, to comprehend the urban space and its planning as a result of urban densification and city development, a general evaluation questionnaire survey was conducted in Silchar. It describes the problems and challenges faced by urban space as densification processes evolve. To emphasize the urgent problems that needed to be resolved, additionally AHP (analytic hierarchy process) survey was conducted with local architects, structural engineers, government employees and professors on the concerns and challenges that had been found.
