Understanding the dynamics of land use and cover (LULC) change in today's context rapid urbanization is critical for sustainable urban planning environmental conservation. Therefore, research aim to understand LULC changes Chattogram Metropolitan Area assess policy implications these development. Through a comparative analysis maps two periods (1997–2007; 2007–2017), we investigated transformation detailed zone before after area plan (DAP) approval. Using mixed-method approach integrating quantitative data with analysis, elucidated impacts trends on local ecosystems—specifically conversion forest waterscape use. The findings reveal significant forested areas peri-urban landscapes, highlighting urgent need interventions that focus areas. study further critiques DAP's effectiveness, revealing disconnect between regional implementation outcomes. This proposes validated, scalable framework master plans adapts complex socio-ecological contexts rapidly urbanizing regions.
