The Population and the City growth mainly affected the LULC of the area. Land Use and Land Cover look like similar words but while studying deeply we can understand LULC concept easily. For the study purpose only Urban and Urban influence area have been taken. The major aim of the research paper is to show the changes occur in the LULC of Bangalore City using Remote Sensing Technology. Multi- Spectral Satellite Imageries are used to know the development and changes taken in Land Use and Land Cover. GIS and ERDAS Technologies are used to do mapping and analysis. The research paper mainly concentrating on City and BBMP region but some packages of land have been used to understand the influencing zone of Urban and Rural.
