housing either for the government, industrial or either employees immediately adjacent to places of employment. Attempts to establish a primary norm for all land use planning based on this principal neglects the very human desire for flexibility of choice in a home related to family needs for rearing children, access to land for garden cultivation and recreation, choice of schooling opportunities and social association with relatives and friends. Since a significant portion of vehicular travel(25% on week-days but nearly 100on week- ends and holidays) takes place for other than journey- to-work, too attention to proximity for this journey-to-work segment alone may actually increase the circulation requirements to achieve other purposes. However, it is obvious that where major places of employment are set up by relocation of government or industry units, efforts should be made to earmark land in the vicinity for adequate housing. Another site planning principle related to traffic is the decentralization of employment centre from certain areas such as the central vista. Such Government functions as are not immediately related to the day-to-day policy-making should not be crowded into the area immediately east of the secretariat, merely because it is government centre. These matters are discussed at greater length in other chapters of this report and need not be handled in detail here. Apart from the problem of minimizing, to the extent possible, unnecessary concentration of large employment centers, it is important that the internal circulation system of industrial estates and large area.
