Exploring the impacts of transportation infrastructure on air quality in urban areas. MSC

Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the impacts of transportation infrastructure on air quality in urban areas. With the rapid growth of urbanization and increasing reliance on transportation systems, understanding the relationship between transportation infrastructure and air quality is crucial for sustainable urban development. This study will employ a combination of quantitative analysis, air quality monitoring, and spatial modeling techniques to assess the extent of air pollution caused by transportation infrastructure and identify potential mitigation strategies. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of effective urban planning policies and transportation management strategies to improve air quality and promote healthier urban environments.
