COMPARING SOUTH ASIAN TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH PAKISTAN’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Summary/Abstract: Economic growth is associated with the excellent execution of global supply chains. To maintain efficient, competitive, and sustainable supply chains, well-planned and advanced transportation infrastructure is essential. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of Pakistan's transportation system within the global context, with a special focus on the South Asian perspective, and to generate insights and recommendations for enhancing the country's transport infrastructure and connectivity. A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted to gain insights into the global transport infrastructure and its impact on economic growth, climate resilience, technological innovation, energy consumption, and customer preferences and compare it with South Asian countries with a special focus on Pakistan. Based on the research findings, conclusions were drawn regarding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Pakistan's transportation system compared to the South Asian infrastructure. The major challenges include climate resilience, urban development trends, and technological innovation that influence transportation evolution differently across nations. Opportunities like strategic initiatives CPEC-like projects, acquisition of investment, and technological adoption are the way forward for Pakistan. Practitioners and policymakers can use these insights to enhance the resilience of transportation systems, such as improving drainage systems, incorporating green infrastructure, and implementing sustainable transportation practices.
