Abstract: This paper examines the urban expansion and evolving settlement patterns of Hyderabad city since the 1990s, a period marked by rapid growth and transformation in response to economic liberalization, population influx, and infrastructural developments. The study employs spatial analysis techniques, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to map changes in land use, density shifts, and the expansion of urban peripheries. Key factors such as migration, industrial growth, and policy shifts are analyzed to understand their role in reshaping the city's morphology. Findings reveal significant spatial reorganization, with traditional central areas experiencing densification and peripheral zones undergoing rapid development
