Abstract: Transport planning is intrinsically linked to land use planning and both need to be developed together in an integrated
manner. In developing such plans, attention should also be paid to the future growth of the city. Transport plans should, therefore,
enable a city to take an urban form that best suits the geographical constraints of its location and also one that best supports the key
social and economic activities of its residents.
Keywords: Land Use, Transport, Express Highways, GIS.

The additional population and employment in these two
scenarios are distributed based on weights assigned to each
of the selected criteria. The parameters identified for the
allocation of additional population and employment to the
clusters are: lengths of bus route network, metro and other
transit network, express highways,national highway, state
highway, and all other existing and proposed major (4 lane
and above) roads that pass through the cluster, number of
potential growth centres areas and existing land uses. Such
considerations are taken to employ and achieve population
and employment distribution for future years based on the
concept of Transit Oriented Development (TOD).
For the purpose of long term planning a series of growth

centres have been identified in all areas from the core to the
outer ring road growth corridor-the urban nodes and urban
centres as proposed in the recently approved master plan for
the extended area have been retained.
