Urban Transport Planning (UTP) has a lot of solutions but many of them don't seem to work .....always! How else would you explain the situation of Chandigarh, a city designed by Le Corbusier maybe over 65 years ago, in physical existence for over 60 years and still relatively free from the evils of urban congestion and collapse of civil infrastructure? On the other hand we have other totally new cities like Noida which are about 35 years old, and already starting to reel under urban degradation despite having relatively broad well surfaced roads !
