A metro extension through unplanned peri-urban India only pays off with a full land-use plan attached — she proposes five integrated interventions: a Transit-Activated Corridor overlay zone with revised development norms, micro-level land pooling for small plots, vertical mixed-use at stations, multimodal interchange hubs, and a green-mobility public realm.

[Use when]

Infrastructure multiplies only when the land rules around it are written first — steel without zoning is a stranded asset.

[Why it matters]

Transit without land-use planning decays into speculation, congestion, and stranded investment — the thesis is a practical checklist for making transit money actually compound.
