Chennai MRTS and surrounding land-use
This is a case-study of Chennai MRTS system's Chepauk station done in 2001. The purpose of the study was to identify issues that caused under-utilization of the MRTS system. The biggest reasons identified were the land-use pattern around the facility, lack of direct connectivity to the facility and lack of inter-modal transportation facilities. This study epitomizes the current land-use and environmental problems in Chennai, and provides a clue to sustainable development patterns in the city of Chennai.
