New Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard describes criteria to help plan or organize smart transportation for compact cities. It is intended to apply to cities facing an urban sprawl and infrastructure crunch.

1.2 Urban sprawl is a resultant of an ever-expanding city jurisdiction due to absence of compact development practices. This has resulted in undesirable extension of urban infrastructure, encroachment of valuable agricultural land, raising cost of development and also increasing carbon, water and energy footprints. Smart transportation can be applied to encourage compact city development.

1.3 This standard shall be read in conjunction with IS 17451.
