Transport Corridors and Peripheral Urbanization in Telangana: Modelling the Influence of Highways and Regional Ring Roads on Land Use Transformation

Author(s) Dr. N. Srinivasu
Country India
Abstract Transport corridors reshape the urban edge by altering accessibility, land rents, and the expectations that govern farmland conversion. This paper examines how highways and ring roads influence peripheral land-use transformation in Telangana, focusing on the Hyderabad region, where the 158-kilometre Outer Ring Road has operated for over a decade and a roughly 340-kilometre Regional Ring Road is being planned. Combining a framework drawn from location theory and the highway and urban-form literature with published remote-sensing evidence for 2005–2016, the study builds a spatially explicit scenario model of farmland-to-built-up conversion on a calibrated synthetic landscape. Three twenty-year scenarios are compared: a baseline without the Regional Ring Road, a Regional Ring Road with controlled access at interchanges, and a Regional Ring Road with open access. Holding aggregate demand constant, open access raises development within two kilometres of the alignment more than forty-fold relative to baseline, increases leapfrog development from 4.9 to 14.2 per cent of new built-up area, and fragments the urban fabric into smaller patches. Controlled access moderates, but does not eliminate, these effects. Corridor design, interchange spacing, and complementary land policy matter as much as road capacity. The paper concludes with planning recommendations and a research agenda for empirical validation.
