With rapidly growing population, mind numbing traffic congestion worldwide, growing aspiration for a promising urban lifestyle, urgent need for walkable lifestyles away from the sickening pollution and trending national support for smart growth, there is an urgent need to transform the age-old urban development norms. Transit oriented development is the contemporary trend in creating vibrant, walkable, mixed-use, inclusive communities focused around train systems to maximize the significance of public transport over autonomous private vehicles.
Creative Group, with its five decades of experience in transit infrastructure has always been in the forefront in visioning out India as a sustainable smart city with integrated development. As Creative Group transformed from freelance practice to a corporate practice through the lead by Ar Gurpreet Shah, the leap into large-scale transit infrastructure began with the development of Chennai inter-modal hub by designing the various modes of transit such as airport, metro, railways and surface transport.
