Urban Development of a City's Existing Core Areas in Relation to the Mass Rapid Transit System: Determining the Significance of Research Work

Aarti Kumari

Abstract


The Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), which runs along vital transit corridors, particularly in and around these places, has had a major influence on urban growth in the core parts of cities and has caused a decline in the general spatial/physical environment. Because of this, these areas need to be addressed right once in order to address the issues at hand and prevent additional degradation. Once again, research is needed to comprehend these developments in specific metropolitan core areas. Consequently, an attempt has been made in this study to demonstrate the significance of this research work using a systematic manner.
