ROLES OF TRANPORTATION
Introduction:
The role of transportation is very precise or important in the development of the nation; highly industrializes or primitive. Enhanced mobility has many positive effects on economic development and social welfare, including more efficient movement of goods and improved access to jobs, health services, and education. The cities in developing countries having transitional economies inexorably differ from those in developed countries in economic, political and demographic characteristics. Differences in incomes or GDPs largely affect the vehicle ownership, amount road infrastructure. Political history, population growth, size and area of the city, available infrastructure, income and governmental policies are some of the factors that affect the transportation system in any city. This piece of course work deals with comparative study between a city from developing country and other two cities from developed world.
For many centuries, cities had their housing, economic and socio-cultural activities within the confined space. The principal transport mode was walking. But as the industrialization and civilization started taking place, cities extended boundaries and suburbs formed. Now this led to new railway-road lines to provide home-work journeys. In these cities, density remained high and walking continued to be the dominant mode for other journeys. Far Eastern cities or Asian cities show similar characteristics today: very high density and mobility provided mainly by walking or cycling.
City in Developing Country:
Mumbai (Other Asian):
It is the sixth largest metropolitan region in the world and largest city in India. It is also most populated city in India. Mumbai lies on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. Mumbai is the commercial and entertainment centre of India, generating 5% of India 's GDP, and accounting for 25% of industrial output, 40% of maritime trade, and 70% of capital transactions to
