With an emphasis on the loss of urban green spaces as a result of urban growth, this study examines the Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) dynamics in Mysuru City, India, over a 20-year period between 2000 and 2020. Four main LULC classes—Built-up Area, Water Bodies, Open Space, and Green Space—were examined using remote sensing and GIS techniques to evaluate the temporal and spatial variations in land cover. The objective of the study is to understand the level of greenery in urban environment of Mysuru city as Mysuru is currently subjected to increased population and unbridled urbanization. The findings raise questions about ecological health and sustainable urban development since they show a notable increase in built-up areas at the expense of green and open Spaces.
