In this process of urbanization, the physical characteristics of Chittagong is gradually changing as open space have been transform into building areas, low land and water bodies in to build up lands etc. In this project, proper analysis is done and the ERDAS software where build up area, vegetation area and water body is analyzed. Ward wise land cover change also found in this research. By considering this data, it has been found that north east direction is the growth trend. This study can help the future researchers to analysis growth pattern and trend analysis.
