Title: Transit Oriented Development and Environmental Impact of Nagpur Metro Rail Project: A Case Study of Nagpur Metro Alignment-2
Abstract: The growing demand for public transport in cities has serious effects on urban ecosystems, especially due to the increased atmospheric pollution and changes in land use patterns. An appropriate mix of alternative modes of transport is introduced resulting in environmental positive and negative impacts on civilians and land use patterns can be obtained by an ecologically sustainable urban transport system. It is a process of identification, prediction, evaluation, and mitigation of biophysical, social and other relevant effects of developmental activity on environment prior to make commitment. The design standards for universal access to Public Transport Infrastructure including related facilities and services, information, etc. would benefit people using public transport. The study regarding such modern transport system of Metro Rail facility to NAGPUR city is the ultimate aim of this project.
