NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: India has recently made significant investments in public transit services in order to fuel urban infrastructure development in India. A significant portion of the investment would go into expanding India's metro rail system. It not only alters the traffic flow pattern, but it is also an efficient and smart way of using land. Various studies have already shown this. Also such projects draws construction investors. The launch of the Lucknow metro is expected to have a significant impact on the existing urban transport system and traffic, especially along the metro corridor. In areas where construction already occurs, this necessitates a shift in activity patterns and land-use transformations. According to preliminary data, demand for commercial properties is increasing parallelly with the development of metro network, rising land prices in the area and also introducing positive land-use improvements that will generate revenue for the government in a variety of ways. However, historical evidence indicates that such scenarios result in more unplanned development. Furthermore, there are many ways in which the metro impacts environmental, climatic, fiscal, and psychological changes in society. As a result, the aim of this research is to paint an image of all the positive effects brought about by the launch of metro rail in Lucknow.
