Abstract

Wide scope of earning money, luxurious lifestyle, quality education, ample job opportunities are some of the reasons that people migrate from rural area to the city. Which automatically tends to increase in population and urban sprawl? Increase in population leads to increase in motorization at an alarming rate in Amravati city. Affordable vehicle price, ease to move with comfort, luxurious lifestyle, unsafe pedestrian pathways and lack of accessibility are some of the reasons that people prefer to travel by private vehicle. Traffic congestion, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions are all exacerbated by urban sprawl and inadequate land use planning. By luring development around transit stations, public transportation serves to reduce sprawl, and this development helps to fund public transportation by increasing ridership. A sustainable future requires collaboration between land use planning and transportation system design. One of the techniques for encouraging this integration is Transit Oriented Development. The challenges caused by sprawl in Amravati City are discussed in this study, and TOD is one of the remedies.
