Question

Match the following Planning Strategies in Group-I to their corresponding descriptions in Group-II.

 

• A. P–4, Q–2, R–5, S–1
• B. P–1, Q–2, R–3, S–4
• C. P–4, Q–3, R–2, S–1
• D. P–1, Q–3, R–2, S–5

Hint:

Urban planning strategies aim to balance the growth and development of urban areas while minimizing environmental impacts. Smart Growth and Brownfield Development are key to sustainable development.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

P (Urban Sprawl) refers to the expansion of urban areas into rural areas, typically characterized by low-density development. Hence, P–4.
Q (Smart Growth) involves concentrating development in compact, walkable urban centres to improve health and the natural environment. Hence, Q–3.
R (Greenfield Development) refers to development on previously undeveloped land. Hence, R–2.
S (Brownfield Development) involves redeveloping previously utilized land, often resulting in a change in land-use and land cover. Hence, S–1.
Thus, the correct match is (C) P–4, Q–3, R–2, S–1.
