The Transit Oriented Development along OMR
The Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) is a major transportation corridor in India, connecting the city of Chennai to the southern suburbs and IT hubs. With rapid urbanization and population growth in the area, there is a need to plan and develop the corridor in a sustainable and livable way.
The study evaluates the impact of TOD along OMR on urban planning, by analyzing the effects of mixed-use, high-density development near public transit stations on land use patterns, transportation options, access to amenities, urban form, social and economic aspects, and sustainability.
