N2  - Recently, less developed countries (LDCs) witnessed unprecedented rapid spontaneous urban growth rate coupled with fast population growth, leading to: distort the national strategic plans, more fiscal burden, inadequate urban planning intervenes, irrelevant urban policies,  threaten  the  sate-strategic crops, pollution, traffic congestion, informality notion, high population densities...etc. Although, developed countries (DCs) face similar issues but  handle  differently, as modern technologies of computing are heavily integrated into urban planning  process.Thus,  the  thesis  suggests  integrated  approach  using  IDRISI:  Land  Change   Modeler  (LCM)  with Geographic Information System (GIS) to simulate the current  urban growth status and  hence predict its future growth (2050) with emphases on accessibility to existing urban areas and\or accessibility to roads network as two driving variables of urban growth in the case study
