It also brings with it socio economic and environmental qualities. - CPULs are to be planned such that more importance is given to pedestrians and engineless vehicles such as bicycles etc consequently there will be less traffic., This results in near absence of air pollution as the vegetation itself would purify the air through carbon sequestration. - Noise pollution is another factor that can be controlled and kept in check through CPULs. The interweaving of green scapes in between urban tissue brings with it the added bonus of noise barriers between the urban zones. - Distances, dimensions and basic aspect of human settlement which change dramatically upon the implementation of CPULs as compared to 34
