Rapid urban and population growth in the KNMA is distorting environmental quality. The initial data was obtained with the aid of geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) within 35 years (1984 to 2019) with three study periods of 1984, 1998, and 2019. While water pollution samples were taken and analyzed in the laboratory for physicochemical elements. The air pollution parameter consists of carbon monoxides (CO) and carbon dioxides (CO2) emission sensed. The Structural Equation Modelling (Smart PLS-SEM) is employed. However, this study solely covers the model development of the urban growth (land use changes, water, and air pollution). The Result uncovers that urban growth in KNMA = ∝ + RPG(P
