Safety Based Cross Sectional Study of Infrastructure and Associated Problems among Undeveloped Neighborhoods

Abstract

A safety and engineering related survey has been conducted to identify infrastructure problems in an undeveloped neighborhood. The studied neighborhood has lacked so many modern and updated infrastructures. NNS (Near Northside) neighborhood infrastructure is failing or becoming older because of lack of engineering and safety knowledge among the community people to have awareness to improve the infrastructure. There exists a need to understand the infrastructure deficiencies that currently is apparent within the community of Near Northside. This work addressed those issues and would encourage the people to have a better infrastructure which could help to improve their neighborhood.
