Land use is the human use of territory for economic, residential, recreational,
conservational, and governmental purposes.
The concept of land use is closely intertwined with human community development.

Transport system.
Considers the set of transport infrastructures and modes that support urban movements of
passengers and freight. It generally expresses the level of accessibility.
• Transport network.
• This is also considered to be a rather stable component of urban dynamics, as transport
infrastructures are built for the long term. This is particularly the case for large transport terminals
and subway systems that can operate for a very long period of time. For instance, many railway
stations are more than one hundred years old. The main contribution of the transport network to
urban dynamics is the provision of accessibility. Changes in the transport network will impact
accessibility and movements.
Transportation:
Mode of transportation - by road, rail, air, water as the as may be.
Network of roads, railways, waterways and their interrelationship with major
activity nodes.
Transport terminals.
Trans-intra city transportation facility
Pedestrian and bicycle
Goods movement system
Transportation land use integration

1. Urban Expressway:
Expressways are divided highways for through traffic with full or partial control of access and
generally with grade separations at major crossroads.
2. Arterial road:
They are the primary roads for ensuring mobility function. They carry the largest volumes of
traffic and longest trips in a city. These roads are characterized by mobility and cater to
through traffic with restricted access from carriageway to the side. In such cases, special
provisions should be introduced to reduce conflict with the through traffic.

5. Local Street:
These are intended for neighbourhood (or local) use on which through traffic is to be
discouraged. These roads should be made pedestrian and bicycle friendly by using modern
traffic calming designs to keep the speeds within limits as per design.
6. Access Street:
These are used for access functions to adjoining properties and areas. A majority of trips in
urban areas usually originate or terminate on these streets

Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
“Transit Oriented Development is essentially any development, macro or micro that is
focused around a transit node, and facilitates complete ease of access to the transit facility
thereby inducing people to prefer to walk and use public transportation over personal
modes of transport”4.
This is an attempt to compact the cities and reducing dependency on the new urban
developments in the periphery which highly encourage the shift from non-motorized to
motorized modes of travel.
Approach to TOD development highly depends on establishing mixed landuse zone by
strategic densification.
The policy includes:
Network & Connectivity: Disperse high traffic volumes over multiple parallel streets rather
than concentrating traffic on few major arterial streets. Create a fine network of streets
that provides choice of routes for all modes, reducing distances between places as well as
journey times.
Last mile connectivity: Provide fast, convenient interchange options and spatial provision
for various modes of Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) at Multimodal Transit Station for
seam less travel. Provide multiple mode choices for last-mile connectivity at various prices
and comfort levels. And at a given situation, eliminate the need of Intermediate Public
Transport by design and engineering5.
