It provides demographic and transportation details about Patna, including a population of over 2 million, high density, and growing vehicular traffic. It also outlines the existing road network and transportation modes, and discusses integrating land use and transportation planning to accommodate future growth in a more organized manner through the CMP.

Land use
The land use map of the year 2006 was taken as an input and is
shown in the figure below. Also seen from the map is the extent
of commercial land use along the major roads in Patna, which
emphasizes the fact of mixed land use all across the city,
especially in the older or eastern parts of the city.

10. Major proposed developments
. (Source: Master plan)
The urban growth is assumed to follow an organic growth instead of a
planned and organized growth pattern. The master plans aims to
maintain an overall density of 150 persons/ hectare. It is assumed
that the population in the existing, high density zones would prefer to
move out to the new developments as per the master plan.

11. LAND USE‐TRANSPORT
INTERACTION
Present Land use and Traffic Analysis Zone
Map
Land use and transport and their interaction is unquestionable.
Residents of a new colony demand accessibility and this increased
accessibility brings more residents and more residential areas.
This is a cyclic process and often forms the reason of organic
growth observed in urban areas.
