Abstract
Governance refers to the structures and processes that are designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity and inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation. Urban governance is the procedure through which stakeholders, including local, regional, and national governments, choose how to plan, fund, and manage urban regions in many countries. Urban governance systems are currently unfit for proper governance purposes and need critical reforms to enable sustainable and inclusive urban development. Urbanization is a global phenomenon, although it develops even more rapidly in developing nations like Egypt. Unplanned growth, rising immigration, and a quickly growing population are the key drivers of urbanization. One of the most significant issues confronting developing countries is the problem of urban sprawl in agricultural areas, which has an environmental impact on several levels. This paper introduces an innovative approach to manage, monitor, and control urban sprawl on agricultural lands using spatial artificial intelligence GeoAI. Tasa village was selected as study area, which is located in Sahel Selim city, Assiut governorate, Egypt. Three satellite images were employed for the study area to monitor change detection from 1998 to 2020.
