Throughout the world, urban land use and land cover change is a common
phenomenon in both developed and developing countries of the World. The main
driving forces behind this process are rapid population growth due to natural
increase and large scale rural urban migration. Urban population of the
developing countries specifically in Asia is increasing at a very rapid rate.
Consequently, there is substantial stress on the existing urban centers to
accommodate the increasing population. Additionally, in these countries urban
planning is in a juvenile stage and the relevant authorities consistently remain
under political pressure. The absence of strict plan implementations and lack of
monitoring are also creating problems in the implementation of byelaws and
building codes. This study is an attempt to explore the illegal land use
conversion in the University Town Peshawar. It is based on official data
collected from Town III office and comprehensive field survey conducted in the
study area in 2016. Analysis of the available data revealed that the high class
residential neighborhood has been considerably transformed through infill
development and illegal conversion of approved land uses.
