Why Urban India Needs Transit-Oriented Development?

The burgeoning population has placed a strain on urban mobility, spawning issues such as congestion, pollution, parking challenges, and freight inefficiencies among others. In such a scenario, it is of significant importance to give a boost to the developmental activities while maintaining sustainability. There is a need to prepare the ground for the holistic concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) - any micro or macro development originating from the transit node that results in wider accessibility to the transit facility.
