During past four decades, Siliguri city has drew a lot of people. In this four-decade Siliguri city convert into an important economic centre of the entire north Bengal, as a result land use land cover distribution of the city changed rapidly. This study aims to identify the pattern and analyse the urban growth of the city from 1991 to 2021 by giving special emphasize on built up growth. The Landsat TM, ETM and LISS IV data has been used for determine the built-up growth of the Siliguri city. Modified Maximum Likelihood Classifier approach has been adopted to classify the satellite image. From the analysis it is found that there is a drastic change in built-up 1254.54 percent in respect to 1991. The sprawl has been measured using Shannon's entropy. These changes are harmful for the ecological balance of the city surrounding. It can further influence the city’s sustainable development conditions.
