Abstract
This chapter aims to draw the conclusions and to highlight the future scope of research and study. It draws conclusions not only on the urban growth and sprawl for the city of Kolkata, but also on the methods and metrics used or modified or proposed in the current research. Future research directions have also been made based on the limitations of the current research (documented in Chap. 4). This research may aid into help local authorities in general to establish and evaluate development goals in terms of establishing social and other infrastructure equipments considering the threats of urban sprawl in achieving sustainable development. Apart from the derived conclusions, the research also shows the potentials of remote sensing and GIS for the analysis of urban growth and sprawl in spatio-temporal scales.
