how can we classify land on the basis of development ?

Answer: see this
Explanation:Land-use classification schemes typically address both land use and land cover. A major land-use classification system developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has multiple levels of classification. The categories within these levels are arranged in a nested hierarchy. The most general or aggregated classification (level I) includes broad land-use categories, such as ‘agriculture’ or ‘urban and built-up’ land (Table 1). This level of classification is commonly used for regional and other large-scale applications. Within each level I class are a number of more detailed (level II) land-use and land-cover classes. For example, the ‘urban and built-up’ class includes ‘residential,’ ‘commercial,’ and ‘industrial’ subclasses. Within each of the level II classes, even more detailed classes (levels III and IV) can be defined and mapped. The classes within each level are mutually exclusive and exhaustive. That is, each location within the mapped area can be classified into one and only one class within each level. Together these four levels of classification comprise a hierarchical system for describing, monitoring, and predicting land-use and land-cover change. This standardized, multilevel classification system allows spatially explicit comparisons of land-use inventories conducted over time.
