The core principles of Perry's Neighborhood Unit were organized around several physical design ideals:

• "Centre the school in the neighborhood so that a child's walk to school was only about one-quarter of a mile and no more than one half mile and could be achieved without crossing a major arterial street. Size the neighborhood to sufficiently support a school, between 5,000 and 9,000 residents, approximately 160 acres at a density of ten units per acre. Implement a wider use of the school facilities for neighborhood meetings and activities, constructing a large play area around the building for use by the entire community.
• Place arterial streets along the perimeter so that they define and distinguish the "place" of the neighborhood and by design eliminate unwanted through-traffic from the neighborhood. In this way, major arterials define the neighborhood, rather than divide it through its heart.
• Design internal streets using a hierarchy that easily distinguishes local streets from arterial streets, using curvilinear street design for both safety and aesthetic purposes. Streets, by design, would discourage unwanted through traffic and enhance the safety of pedestrians.
• Restrict local shopping areas to the perimeter or perhaps to the main entrance of the neighborhood, thus excluding nonlocal traffic destined for these commercial uses that might intrude on the neighborhood.
• Dedicate at least 10 percent of the neighborhood land area to parks and open space, creating places for play and community interaction"

School, Hospital, College, Dispensary are part of Public and Semi-Public land uses. EES is part of utility. District Centre falls under commercial landuse.

Initial value, I = 50,000/-
Salvage value. S = 15% of 50,000 = (0.15*50.000) = 7,500/-
Total depreciation. D = I - S = 50,000 - 7,500 = 42,500/-
Annnal depreciation, A = Total depreciation/years of useful life = 42500/5 = Rs. 8,500/-
Book value after 3 years = Initial value - (depreciation in 3 years) = (I) - (A*n) = (50,000) - (8500*3) Rs. 24,500/-

All the paths from start to end and their respective durations are listed below:
P - Q - R - V = 18 days
P - S - T - V = 12 days
P - S - U - V=17 days
P - U - V = 11 days
It can be observed that P - Q - R - V with 18 days is the longest path and hence the critical path.
Alternatively, from forward and backward pass calculations, the EST, EFT, LST and LFT values for each activity can be calculated to find the answer.

The length of rectangular plate (given as 5 meters) is projected to be 2 meters in plan.

Let the angle of inclination be ‘theta’

We get, cos theta = 2/5

⇒ Theta = cos inv (2/5) = 66.4218 degrees

The Centrally sponsored Scheme of Integrated Development of Small and Medium Towns (IDSMT) was initiated in the Sixth Plan (1979-80) and has continued in the Seventh and Eighth Plans. Its main objective has been to slow down migration from rural areas end smaller towns to large cities by the development of selected small and medium towns which can generate economic growth and employment. The IDSMT Scheme; by strengthening small and medium towns as regional growth centers aims at reducing migration to large and metropolitan cities.

Traffic volume = traffic density x mean speed
mean speed = 600/ 30
mean speed = 20 kmph

• Business as Usual (BAU) is a scenario for future patterns of activity which assumes that there will be no significant change in people's attitudes and priorities, or no major changes in technology, economics, or policies, so that normal circumstances can be expected to continue unchanged.
• The low-carbon scenario is a variation of the reference scenario, where certain technologies are replaced by others that are less carbon intensive. Low emission scenario is a variation which adopts reduced use of fossil fuels, lower CO₂ emissions, efficient use of energy, increased renewable energy, etc.
• Public Transport (PT) Augmented Scenario is a variation where prominence is given to public transport compared to other modes, in preparation of a mobility plan. In this scenario, modal share of public transport is at least 50% or as indicated in the CMP goals.

Area of the shaded triangle = (1/2) × 50 × 5 = 125

To determine the total passenger travel time in minutes, consider the following:

• Access time to the station: 20 minutes
• Travel time on the transit line: 40 minutes
• Access time from the station: 20 minutes

Add these times together to find the total travel time:

• Total travel time = 20 + 40 + 20 = 80 minutes

Thus, the total passenger travel time is 80 minutes.
