Abstract	A method for analyzing growth of an urban area is developed. Albany, Oregon, from 1936 to 1975 was used as a test case. The method employs the use of remotely sense imagery combined with an analysis of selected physical characteristics of the land being urbanized. The study consists of an urbanizing boundaries map, a map showing land capability classes, and an analysis of changes observed in the urbanizing pattern. The amount of areal expansion is measured, the trend of urbanization noted, and limitations to future growth discussed.
