Abstract

This paper has evaluated the spatial growth of Bauchi Metropolis from 1976 to 2015 through the application of Remote Sensing and GIS techniques. Various satellite imageries of the metropolis (Landsat MSS of 1976, TM of 1986, 1996 and ETM+ of 2006 and 2015) were integrated; processed and classified using ERDAS imagine 9.1. The results showed an increase in area from 11.68km2 in 1976 to 12.51km2 in 1986 to 32.44km2 in 1996, to 49.66km2 in 2006 and finally to 89.23km2 in 2015. It is recommended that government should provide the required capacities for the use of Remote Sensing and GIS in planning for the growth of the town.
