Assessing the Potential of Development along Metro Corridor-A Case of Pune

摘要

Pune is one of the fastest-growing metro cities in the country. To improve the transportation system in the Pune city, metro as mass rapid transit system (MRTS) was proposed. The work has been initiated since June 2019, intention to connect the different areas and the peripheral population to their workplaces and core of the city. The greater connectivity through the technology is bringing the different areas of the city closer to each other and the core area of the city. The government and planning authority published a transit-oriented development (TOD) policy, which states about the development control and promotion through rules and regulations for the TOD zone. This study hypothesizes that the Pune TOD Policy is the highly influencing factor for the development along the metro corridor, which along with the other co-influencing factors determines the development pattern of the study area. The paper focuses on exploring the impact of TOD policy on the land use, development potential, and development density of the TOD influence zone with a case study of the Pune, Maharashtra state, India. From the present study, it is observed that results show that, TOD development regulations have shortcomings concerning plot area, plot size, and adjacent road width to consume the FSI four.
