Transportation infrastructure plays a critical role in urban planning and design because it determines how people move around the city. A well-designed and efficient transportation infrastructure can reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and promote the use of sustainable modes of transportation such as walking, cycling, and public transit. In addition, transportation infrastructure affects land use and development patterns, as it can influence where businesses and residential areas are located. Urban planning and design must take into consideration all modes of transportation and ensure that they are seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric to create a more livable and sustainable city.
