Abstract
This chapter discusses in detail the land use/land cover and population change as factors of urban environment of Delhi and Mumbai. Land use/land cover change and air quality change are considered as indicators of urban environmental change in Mumbai and Delhi. Land use/land cover change has been studied using Landsat satellite images from 1991 to 2011. The air quality change has been studied based on the data collected from Central Pollution Control Board and Maharashtra Pollution Control Board for the same period. Records of air quality were collected from CPCB for Delhi (nine stations) and from MPCB for Mumbai (three stations) for SPM, RSPM, SO2 and NO2. Detailed analysis of air pollution is supplemented by extensive fieldwork.
