City Growth Patterns Intensifying Complexities to Control Vehicular Exhaust Pollution in Pakistan: A Case Study of Peshawar City
Abstract
Unplanned constructions of high-rise buildings are continuing to fulfill the demand for commercialization in cities. This change in land use has overlooked to consider the associated infrastructure. Beside other problems, it thoroughly escalates vehicular movement and makes the environment more vulnerable. Symptomatic approaches from the government continue but could not succeed to avert the danger permanently. This research has examined circulation pattern and traffic flow on major roads of the city. Beside it, the performance of Vehicle Emission Testing Station is reviewed. The author found that disproportionate change in land use has intensified vehicular movement and the crammed road network spoiled all the curative measures. A professional’s interviews were carried out to understand the problem. During professional discussion many things were found missing within the management system of the city. Therefore, the researcher developed a systematic approach/model to incorporate all aspects of the missing components in order to curb air pollution effectively in cities.
