Urban expansion reshapes spatial patterns over time, leading to complex challenges such as environmental degradation, resource scarcity, and socio-economic inequality. It is critical anticipate these transformations in order devise proactive urban policies implement sustainable planning practices that minimize negative impacts on ecosystems human livelihoods. This study investigates LULC changes the rapidly urbanizing Manisa metropolitan area of Turkey using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery advanced machine learning algorithms. High-accuracy maps were generated for 2018, 2021, 2024 Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbors, Classification Regression Trees Among these, Forest algorithm demonstrated superior accuracy consistency distinguishing land-cover classes. Future scenarios 2027 2030 simulated Cellular Automata–Artificial Neural Network model QGIS MOLUSCE plugin. The results indicate significant growth, with built-up areas projected increase by 23.67% between 2030, accompanied declines natural resources bare land water bodies. highlights implications regarding ecological balance demonstrates importance integrating simulation models forecast use changes, enabling management. Overall, effective must be developed manage urbanization conduct a balanced manner.
