| description | Urban morphology is the study of the form of human settlements and the process of their formation and
transformation. It is an approach in designing urban form that considers both physical and spatial
components of the urban structure. Penang was awarded as Heritage City by UNSECO in July 2008.
Penang is well known for its heritage character especially in the city of Georgetown with more than 200
years of urban history. Therefore, the study has conducted in Georgetown, Penang in order to identify the
evolution of urban morphology and the expansion of development in terms of land use activity. This paper
attempts to review a literature that is related to urban morphology in the context of using GIS and remote
sensing techniques. These techniques are most widely used and the development in both technology
applications has led to significant improvement in capability for decision making process. Therefore, it will
help to investigate the past and present patterns and trends of urban growth in Georgetown, Penang. Thus,
this finding would contribute to understand the interrelation between urban morphology study and the
applications of GIS and remote sensing and its influence on creating sustainable and resilience of
metropolitan area, city, town or even village.
