  This paper presenting land use and land cover changes in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa city of Peshawar, Pakistan, this study is the first to use satellite remote sensing data to examine the 17 years land cover changes in the city of Peshawar between 1999 and 2016. Particularly, it employed maximum likelihood classification algorithm to classify Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8, OLI data collected from 1999 and 2016 and then detected changes in the land cover in the study area, it then measure urban sprawl by applying raster Boolean techniques to extract the urban area, Then compute the changes between the two composite classified images of 1999 and 2016. A scatterplots and histograms techniques is employed to evaluating training samples in confirming the degree of spectral separation acceptability of the bands used for each of the land use and land cover (LULC) classes conversion analysis in E..
