N2  - Rap id growth of population in Metropolitan cities of Asia has  resulted in spatial expansion of these urban areas. Planning and  development agencies have attempted to control/guide these spatial  expansions , using various available planning tools , lil<e zoning,  Land use regulations, large scale acquisition of l and, incentives  for deve1opment . But in many cases they fai1ed to achieve the  desired pattern of development due to one reason or the other.  This study covers an a rea where economic policies were  implemented without giving consideration to spatial, physical  planning and environmental characteristics of the area . This has  resulted in residential and commercial development subsequent to  the industrial development in a flood prone area. Later on  inadequate provision of housing to the urban poor in planned  housing deve1opment and constant negligence of the responsible  agencies , even the deve1opment in the study area was c 1ear1 y  opposite to the desired growth direction of t he city , i . e ., southern s ide of the city, has provided an impetus to the  unauthorized development activities in the area .  The neglected but needy people were left to the only option,  which was obviously favorable to them for cheaper land ; being  located in flood hazard area , and close to job; being located close  to potential employment centers, to settle in an un favor able area  not suitable for development .  This has resulted in rapid expansion of the built up area of  Shahdara , crossing administrative boundaries , penetrating into  another district. Obviously the increase in built up area means  increase in flood damage potential and flood vulnerability of the  area . It has been anticipated that this situation would be further  exacerbated in future and would cause extensive damage, l T  appropriate planning measures (non-structural measures) are not  adopted in addition to the flood protection measures (structural  measures).  The Scenarios have been used to describe the possible outcomes  with and without implementing planning measures. Re commendations  have been made to minimize the sufferings of the peop1e and to  achieve homogeneous development in the metropolitan area of Lahore .
