Stages in Transport planning/7/M1/17CV751(UTP)/S-4 HD

Cities play a vital role in promoting economic growth and prosperity of a nation. The development of cities largely depends upon their physical, social, and institutional infrastructure. Transport demand in most Indian cities has increased substantially, due to increases in population as a result of both natural increase and migration from rural areas and smaller towns. Availability of motorized transport increases household income, and increases in commercial and industrial activities further adds to transport demand. In many cases, demand has outstripped road capacity. Greater congestion and delays are prevalent in Indian cities and indicate the seriousness of transport problems. #like #share #subscribe
