Studies indicate that the absence of efficient resource-efficient land-use planning frameworks in urban regions have instigated resource exploitation, biodiversity degradation and the unregulated expansion of the urban population to the detriment of land resources. However, the emergence and commonization of GIS-based zoning and spatial analysis has made the optimisation of land-use more efficient and quite feasible for a more expanded purpose. Therefore, this review paper aims to highlight viable GIS-based techniques for zoning, density mapping, and green space allocation to enhance resource-efficient land use planning in urban areas, especially those with constrained resources. To achieve this aim, the paper adopts an integrative review approach and a desk research method to synthesize the findings of multiple studies across the purview of the research interest. The findings of the paper pinpoints categorically that urban land-use planners and stakeholders need to do more in the areas of resource-efficient land use through zoning and spatial analysis. Thus, the research proffers practical recommendations for urban land-use planners and other stakeholders seeking to optimize resource-efficient land use for sustainable urban growth.
