Urbanization in India leads to concentration and population growth through urban sprawl associated with improper use of land. The city of Risali in Bhilai is a rapidly growing urban center with a diverse range of land uses and cover types. This research aims to review the available literature on the mapping of land use and land cover and its analysis in Risali and to give proposals on the potential applications and implications of this research for inclusive and sustainable urban development. The literature study revealed several studies that have used GIS techniques to map and analyze the use of land and cover in Risali. According to this research, the city is distinguished by a wide variety of land uses and cover types, including commercial, residential, agricultural, and industrial areas. The literature also revealed several studies that have analyzed the mapping of the use of land and cover to comprehend the distribution and changes in the use of land and cover in the city. These studies have discovered that a number of variables, including population increase, economic development, and accessibility of infrastructure and services, influence changes in land use and cover.
