5. CITY PROFILE AND STUDY AREA
• City is the capital of Uttar Pradesh; most populous state of India, popularly known for
its cultural and intellectual traditions as well as, its current status as a nucleus of
service industry, education & research.
• Lucknow had a population of 22.45 lakh in 2001 and 29.08 lakh in 2011. It is supposed
to raise up to 4 million by 2021
• The inadequate commuter transportation system in Lucknow is overwhelmed by
upsurge of private automobiles. It constitutes 90 percent of total vehicles registered in
Lucknow City.
• The supply of city buses being only 6 per lakh population is inadequate for a city's size
like Lucknow. The benchmark is between 70 to 80 buses per lakh residents in an urban
area in India.
• Lucknow Development Authority commissioned DMRC to propose a Mass Rapid Transit
System (MRTS) for Lucknow City to serve forecast travel up to the horizon year 2030.
6. MRTS AND TOD: AN OVERVIEW
Compact, mixed-use development in a walkable Environment near transit stations typically is
referred to as “Transit-Oriented Development” (TOD).
Generally, a rapid transit, underground, subway, elevated railway, metro or metropolitan
railway system is known as “Mass Rapid Transit System” (MRTS) in an urban area
with a high capacity and frequency, and grade separation from other traffic.
BENEFITS OF METRO:
• Exclusive Right of Way (ROW),
• High passenger carrying capacity,
• Less impact on environment, Required 1/5th energy per passenger-km compared to road transportation,
• More reliable, comfortable and safer than road based system.
• Carries same amount of traffic as 6 lanes of bus traffic and 26 lanes of cars.
• Reduces journey time by 50-75%, Increase in average speed of road vehicles.
7. IMPACTS OF METRO
Social and Demographical Changes
• Increased capacity of catchment
area
• High density of MRTS nodes
• Demand of more FAR
• Attracts HIG and influence activities
accordingly
• Increase in rental housing demand
and more profit making activities
and complementary services
attracted
Traffic and Transportation Changes
• Large portion of traffic expected to
reduce from the major road
networks
• Dependency of people on para
transit will increase
• Increase in demand of parking
spaces near MRTS nodes
• Within immediate impact area,
increase in pedestrian traffic
Physical and Environment Changes
• Accessibility : Improved
accessibility
• Landuse : High Intensity
development
• Land value : Increase in
vicinity
• Concentration of activities
• Environmental and visual impacts

URBAN TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
• Traffic congestion and parking
• Longer commuting distances
• Public transport inadequacy
• Difficulties for non-motorized movement
• Environmental impacts and energy consumption
• Narrow Roads and accidents
Landuse-Transportation Interaction
• Reformation of landuse, Change in building
byelaws,
• Requirement of parking in future,
• Para transit networking, Future projection of
traffic volume,
• Expansion of Metro Rail, Change in trip
generation and attraction.
Landuse-Transportation-Economy Interaction
• Increase in land prices, Increase in Municipal
income through property tax and other taxes,
• Cost of travel,
• Employment generation due to conversion of
landuse as well as due to increment in level of
accessibility.
Transportation-Economy-Social Envi. Interaction
• Future demand of new
commercial/recreational/social facilities,
• Future opportunities due to increased level of
accessibilities,
• Level of satisfaction and efficiency of the
system.
9. PORTLAND
• Proper landuse development guidelines had been formed to foster the development along transit corridors in
downtown areas.
• High level of accessibility through good pedestrian and cycling networking were planned around transit stations..
• Affordability had been promoted by accommodating mixed income groups in housing.
• Lack of parking areas next to the station premises created chaotic conditions and congestion in the traffic movements.
• Development had not taken place as assumed due to non availability of land, increased land prices and interest of
communities.
CASE STUDIES
SAN FRANCISCO
SEOUL
• Commuter preferred activities were accommodated around the station areas viz. cafes, malls & multiplexes, which led
to an increase of competition in the influenced zone of the corridor. As a result increment in employment took place.
Therefore many new public facilities and offices came up around the nodes.
• The residential sector developed towards the peripheral limits which were generally multi block complexes and 20-25
stories high.
• To control the growth rate of density, land policies regarding FAR, ground coverage and land use regulations were
made separately for MRTS corridor.
• Landuse development was very much guided to enhance quality of station areas, preferred landuse were
residential, mixed use and commercial.
• To encourage pedestrian movement concept compactness in the physical planning were adopted.
• Post occupancy analysis were done for the station areas to improve efficiency of future TOD plans.
• Development had not occurred or occurred slow than anticipated wherever the local economy was not strong.
• The business community helps create pedestrian friendly environment through the formation of local improvement
districts.
10. NEW DELHI
CASE STUDIES
BOSTON
CURITIBA
• Affection of private vehicle use had been separated from the people’s perception by encouraging them to opt for
pedestrian circulation or bicycle rides as a result of it parking requirement decreased from 1:1 to 1:0.7, which helped
developers to fetch incentives.
• Preservation of matters of historical significance and new development had been taken care of. Since public transport
system was established in 1850, various transit stations were also there in the list of buildings of historical significance
and had been restored or preserved.
• Stage wise planning initiatives were adopted which led a successful TOD development.
• To support metro rail network proper feeder links had been provided, due to this use of private vehicles reduces
drastically.
• Coordinated transportation investments and land use regulations, like higher density mixed use in transit corridors to
direct growth of transit corridors had been placed hand in hand.
• Suburbanization took place after a good level of connectivity reached to every part of the city.
• Commercial activities increased around metro stations as per the demand of the commuters.
• Increase in employment, per capita income, purchasing power came into picture.
• Development of new recreational areas had taken place too.
• The final plan had allowed increased Floor Area Ratio (FAR); that was about more floors and construction on all
plots including residential, schools and all other educational institutes, hospitals, nursing homes and even industrial
plots for the first time.

23. MAJOR INFERENCES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION
CHARBAGH HAZRATGANJ
• Proper parking areas to be proposed to accommodate upcoming
parking requirements.
• Mixed nature of traffic makes the transport conditions congested. Main
issue regarding congestion is unavailability of proper Auto-stand.
Planning of an auto stand is required near upcoming metro station.
• Since the major part of footfall uses Charbagh Railway Station for their
further journey, provision of pedestrian movement to be made from
metro station to railway station.
• Since possibility of office space development is highest in the area,
development guidelines to be reviewed and revised in the same context.
• Main reason for congestion is on street parking which needs to be
resolved, hence proper parking areas to be proposed to fulfil future
requirements of parking.
• Major footfall is because of office areas and retail commercial activities,
provision for pedestrian movements to be made up to 500-750 m
distance from metro station.
• Since possibility of malls and multiplex development is highest in the
area, development guidelines to be reviewed and revised in the same
context.
24. MAJOR INFERENCES RELATED TO TRANSPORTATION
MAHANAGAR AMINABAD
• Main reason of congestion is mixed traffic conditions with non-
signalized flow. Intersection needs to be signalized for better traffic flow.
• Proper Parking areas to be proposed to fulfil future requirements of
parking.
• Since possibility of retail commercial development is highest in the area,
development guidelines to be reviewed and revised in the same context.
• Intersection needs to be signalized for better traffic flow.
• Main reason of congestion is encroachment along the roads by illegal
vendors, guidelines to be established to avoid such chaotic conditions
and deduce congestion in traffic.
• Proper Parking areas to be proposed to fulfil future requirements of
parking.
• The area is best known for street shopping and road side eateries, hence
pedestrian movement to be proposed to preserve and enhance such
activities in the area legally.
• Since possibility of retail commercial development is highest in the area,
development guidelines to be reviewed and revised in the same context.

Parking is one of the most essential requirements of commercial areas. To develop a good, pedestrian
friendly and efficient commercial area, availability of adequate parking is a must. To calculate the future
peak hour parking requirement projections help of following main components have been taken:
• Modal split through user interaction survey,

27. NODE-WISE BROAD RECOMMENDATIONS
Parking:
• Since metro line is elevated,
parking will be provided below it.
• In front of railway station prepaid
auto stand will be proposed.
• Space from city bus stand will be
taken and additional parking will
be accommodated.
• Roads are wide enough to serve
the traffic but on street parking
makes condition worse, hence it
should be strictly prohibited.
Special Recommendations:
• It would be better if development
takes place in form of
offices/hotels or restaurants.
Parking:
• Since metro station is underground,
parking will be proposed based on
park on park concept.
• Since it is CBD of city these parks
will be operated for public
gathering and leisure activities.
Special Recommendations:
• Ganjing is a tradition of Lucknow
since ages, hence to improve the
quality of Ganjing pedestrian
movement should be encouraged.
Parking:
• Since metro line is elevated,
parking will be provided below it.
• To fulfil additional requirement of
parking, in highlighted areas
multilevel parking will be
provided.
Special Recommendations:
• This area can be a future retail
hub for the city, it would
complement the surrounding
residential zones if developed as
daily basis retail activity point.
Parking:
• Since metro line is elevated, parking
will be provided below it.
• To fulfil the additional requirement
of parking park on park system will
be encouraged.
• In these parks retail vendors will be
invited to put their shops on daily
basis and daily rent will be collected
from them as revenue.
Special Recommendations:
• Any kind of vehicular movement
should be restricted with in the
street shopping zones, since it
increases chaotic conditions in the
area.

33. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LANDUSE DEVELOPMENT
• No sanction to any building until proper parking arrangements are provided. In case of bigger buildings such as office spaces or
mall & multiplexes, if they allow outside vehicle parking in their parking lots, special incentives to be provided to them such as
additional FAR or Relaxation in height restriction.
• Revision in monthly municipal rents of the commercial entities to increase revenue.
• Promote office space development more since, it will invite more corporate investment to the city which will be beneficial to the
localities through the CSR activities of the companies as well as also increase the employment.
• In Aminabad & Charbagh areas, retail street shopping needs encouragement. Legalization of street vendors and collection of daily
basis rents from them will leads towards the encroachment free areas as well as increase the municipal income through revenue.
• Increase in road side pedestrian movement will reduce the encroachment in footpaths by street vendors.
• Old residential areas such as Narhi near Hazratganj will be reclassified as Mixed use/Commercial Landuse Zone to increase its
land value, to fulfil the future requirement of land for commercial activities and to rejuvenate the old areas.
34. POLICIES FOR PARA TRANSIT
Destination Points from Hazratganj Destination Points from Mahanagar Destination Points from Aminabad
• The furthest destination points are around 7kms, 6 kms & 4 kms from
Hazratganj, Mahanagar & Aminabad Stations respectively.
• Buses will be used as mode of transport on primary roads, connecting
secondary roads will be served by autos and man driven rickshaws.
• Tertiary level streets will be covered by pedestrian movements.
• Area falling within 250-500 m around the station should be restricted as
pedestrian movement areas only. Man driven rickshaws can be permitted but
autos/bus near the metro station should be prohibited.

• Parking shall be constructed on BOT models so that the
investment from the municipal side will be null as well as the
problem of parking will be solved.
• Apart from parking the development of proposed road cross-
sections can be easily done with the help of various grants,
aids, MPLAD fund and MLALAD fund provided by the
government.
• Responsibility of providing and maintaining streetscapes will
be imposed on the corporate investors as a part of their CSR
activities.
• Taxes will be imposed on autos as following (Total income

If the investment on the buses has
been done by the municipal
corporation itself, that would be highly
profitable to the municipal income.
For the same loan @5% annum can be
borrowed from ADB which will be
easily repaid up to 2025, afterwards
the entire income will be added as
municipal profit as shown in table.
Assumptions:
• Capacity of each bus is 40.
• 1 bus provides services for 8 trips/day.
• 40% of the income generated through fare will be disposed for
maintenance purposes.
• Average fare collected in 2015-2020 will be Rs 10. In 2020-2025 it
will be Rs 12. For 2025-2030, 2030-2040 and for 2041 average
fare collected will be Rs 15, Rs 20 and Rs 25 respectively.
37. ILLUSTRATION: AMINABAD
• Reasons for selecting Aminabad metro station area for illustration can be stated as:
• Retail shopping destination of the city, hence pedestrian movement will be maximum.
• Intersection is not signalized, hence congestion in traffic exists there.
• Encroachment is maximum amongst all the four station areas.
• Central part of old city of Lucknow and very much dense.
• Old and dilapidated buildings are in plenty.
• Planning area was decided within the range of 500m to 700 from the proposed metro station as per the road layout.
• Within this area, the pockets having dilapidated residential buildings have been considered the pockets which will go under
reconstruction and as per the trend in the city and stated by various real estate the developers, there will be a high chance that
the new construction would be of mixed use instead of residential again. Same condition is applied in case of dilapidated mixed
use buildings, it has been considered that these buildings will be transformed as commercial buildings.

42. CONCLUSION AND FURTHER SCOPE
• Although a broad level of proposals have been framed for the entire stretch, detail action area level plan for each station can be
recommended as every area is distinctive with different potentials, issues and challenges.
• Cost analysis and other micro level analyses can be carried out in a more detailed study considering its management and
operational part as well.
• This study further opens up the ways for detailed study of the same in context of its environmental aspects which would be really
helpful for such future projects in tier-II Indian cities.
