The document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted on pedestrian infrastructure and walkability in various cities in India. It was found that infrastructure for pedestrians is generally poor and unsafe, especially in low-income areas. Sidewalks are often encroached upon, discontinuous, poorly maintained and not disabled-friendly. There is a need to prioritize pedestrians and enforce laws and guidelines to protect pedestrian rights and space in urban planning. Learning from international best practices, Indian cities can work on legal frameworks, traffic calming measures and creation of walkable neighborhoods to promote walking.

Presentation tries to portray the context, necessity, role and importance of transportation in the urban context, issues faced by cities in rationalizing transport and options which can be leveraged in making transportation sustainable - which inter alia includes; making cities compact, planning for people, promoting accessibility, limiting mobility, re-ordering the priority for mobility, leveraging mass transportation, technology etc. Presentation stresses the role an d importance of shape and size of the city in making transportation sustainable. Need for changing the approach to urban planning has also been emphasized.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) results in the creation of compact, walkable and liveable communities with access to amenities built around high quality mass transit stations. However, the discourse around TODs in India is more of a densification and value capture approach, which is necessary, but yet an incomplete conversation for the Indian context. This webinar, presented by Todd Litman, Himadri Das and Lubaina Rangwala addresses the major challenges and learnings from the ‘implementation’ of a TOD.

11 years after the Kyoto Protocol was signed—only
to be consigned to irrelevance over the subsequent decade—nations would negotiate post-2012 action.
The realities of climate change are clearer than ever,
and the cost of action is mounting. Rich countries,
historically responsible for climate change, are
proposing new mechanisms to share the burden.
Leading developing countries such as India and
China need to negotiate hard as well and make
a big push for renewables

Delhi is in danger of losing the gains of its CNG programme as pollution levels are once again creeping up to pre-2000 level. A latest analysis of recent air quality data in Delhi carried out by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) finds that pollution levels are on the upswing again after a few years of control. Last winter, for the first time, pollution levels increased and this year pollution levels are already almost as high as what was in the city in pre-CNG days.
Says Sunita Narain, director, CSE: “We will have to take tough measures to control growing air pollution and fast. Otherwise, Delhi will find itself in the choked and toxic haze of the pre-CNG days, when diesel-driven buses and autos had made it one of the most polluted cities on earth.”

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Uttipec Meeting Walking
1. Anumita Roychowdhury Centre for Science and Environment Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure centre New Delhi July 22, 2009 How walkable are our cities?
2. Stunning data….. Source: Anon 2008, transport demand forecast study: study and development of an integrated cum multi modal public transport network for NCT of Delhi, RITES, MVA Asia Ltd, TERI, September
3. How many people walk in our cities? Source: Anon 2008, transport demand forecast study: study and development of an integrated cum multi modal public transport network for NCT of Delhi, RITES, MVA Asia Ltd, TERI, September Modal share of walking in key cities of India 28 National 22 > 80 lakh population 25 40-80 lakh population 25 20-40 lakh population 24 10-20 lakh population 32 5- 10 lakh poplutation 57 < 5 lakh population (hill terrain) 34 < 5 lakh population (plain terrain) Percentage walking Cities classified according to population
5. Urban form and sustainability Dense growth helps …… Delhi Kolkata Bangalore Mumbai -- High density, mixed land use, and narrow streets make our cities walkable -- In a typical city the core can just be 5 km across and easily walkable within a reasonable time. -- Studies show more than 40 to 50 per cent of the daily trips in many of our cities have distances less than 5 kilometers. -- These have enormous potential to convert to walking and non-motorised trips. Source: Urban age
6. Walking for work, education and services….. Of all education trips – 58% walk trips Service and business trips – 31% walk trips ( RITES 2001) Walking and urban poor……. About 60% of people live in low income localities. An earlier estimate shows 22% of people with less than Rs 2000/month income walk in Delhi. Moving slums out to periphery had sharply reduced women employment as accessibility became a problem Disability and walking…… S amarthyam survey: 58% of the disabled found steps, ramps, difficult to negotiate; 45% of elderly found steps and ramps daunting; 20%found uneven, narrow sidewalks difficult. Engineering guidelines for disables are not implemented Urbanity and life style Corelation between active transportation (walking and cycling) and obesity. China – 1.8kg weigh gain after and twice as likely to get obese for a Chinese who acquired a car. King County – people weigh 7 pounds less on an average in walkable neighbourhoods Who walks in our cities?
7. Unacceptably high accident rates…….. Total number of road accidents are very high in Delhi – 2.5 times higher than that of Kolkata, 2.1 times higher than Chennai – personal vehicles cause most of these accidents…. Nearly half of fatal accidents in Delhi involve pedestrians High risk group…
8. We organised random survey to assess the state of walking facilities, walking environment, exposure to traffic and safety. We walked through…. -- The dedicated pedestrian path along the bus rapid transit corridor (Ambedkar Nagar to Chirag Delhi) -- Connuaght Place, the central business district -- Interstate Bus Terminus, an important interchange point -- All India Institute of Medical Sciences, a sensitive area -- Lajpat Nagar, prominent commercial area. -- Residential colonies of Patparganj, Chittaranjan Park and Alaknanda. -- Delhi Haat, a recreational site. -- Nehru Place another commercial area -- Seelampur Zaffrabad, and Govindpuri -- low income neighbourhoods Volunteers participated in this survey…. We have also guaged Perception of pedestrians…. We took a walk……
9.
10. Patparganj: Highly encroached, dirty and unsafe Pedestrians wriggle their way through the fast moving traffic. Zebra crossings have faded There are stretches without footpaths and that too adjacent to a school. The areas demarcated for the pedestrians are unpaved that force people to walk in conflict with the motorized traffic. Residential colonies rank poor
11. Govindpuri and Zaffrabad: Traffic and people on collision course….. - Discontinuous, poorly paved footpaths, and not easily accessible - Height and width of pavements violate norms - Poor signages, no pedestrian refuge islands -- crosswalk are ordeal - No kerbed ramps or blended crossings to access the crosswalk facilities - Exposure to traffic very high. Neighbourhoods of poor people Large captive pedestrian traffic but worst infrastructure
12. Indian style socialism Aurangzeb Road and Govindpuri We have counted 3 persons per 10 minutes in Aurangzeb Road and 100 person per five minutes in Govindpuri Urban planning does not keep people in focus
13. Connaught Place Rebuilding and redesigning of pedestrian path has begun in some stretches….. We have seen improvement as well….. Janpath: congenial pedestrian ambience R K Marg: Walkable
14. …… . Connaught Place Older pavements remodelled to make them pedestrian friendly After thought Retrofitting change … but problem persist Zebra crossing hits roadblock
15. Design of sidewalks near AIIMS has improved But cloverleaf flyover has disrupted at-grade continuity, increased walking distance for the ailing visitors using public transport At least in one direction use of subway is unavoidable But these are not handicap friendly and are without supportive tools Cloverleaf has completely severed neighbourhood, increased walking distance, disrupted direct shortest route Hospitals: Sensitive area AIIMS Before After
16. Unusable infrastructure: Wasteful Unusable infrastructure: Wasteful Guidelines of Indian Road Congress are inadequate Eg. In the absence of proper guidelines on height of pavements unacceptably high pavements without proper gradients are being made…..
17. No one thinks of disable Narrow uneven sidewalks, high kerbs, steps, make sidewalks unusable for people with impairments. Only in the BRT corridor disable friendly features have been introduced.
18. Cars taking over the legitimate space of walkers Walkways motorised…….
19. Seamless and signal free traffic is interrupting shortest direct route for pedestrians. This is inciting jay walking Jay walking….rampant Sai Chowk, Patparganj Scindia House, CP
21. Main complaints -- uneven surface, potholes, obstruction, urinals, height of the pavement …... User survey brings out disenchantment.. Pedestrians on BRT lane are happy with sidewalks.. have commented how their daily drudgery of walking has changed
22. In ISBT we have seen direct walkway connection between bus station and metro station.. Need detailed guidelines for siting of bus stations, interchange points… Pedestrian plan needs linkage with public transport plan…….
23. As skywalks and flyovers take over …….angry protests begin in our cities -- Right To Walk campaigns in Hyderabad, Chennai. Angst against sky walks in Mumbai Whither policy….. Anger in cities
24.
25. Fundamental concern -- Pedestrian space does not have legal protection Yusuf Sarai near AIIMS, space usurped Pedestrian space is chipped away arbitrarily -- without consulting people
