This chapter presents the general geographical location and issues of built-up areas of the major cities of Georgia (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Rustavi and Batumi). The change in land use and dynamics of population over the last 30 years is discussed. In the case of Tbilisi, there are allocated areas such as bare soil area, green area, built-up area, and the agricultural area; also the main areas of land use transformation are highlighted. The reasons for the change in urban areas and population over the last 30 years are considered in the example of all four cities.
