The poor quality of our streets causes over 160 deaths every year. There is a dire need for street design guidelines that ensure high quality streets through standardization of essential street elements
Fulton Market Streetscape Meeting - CDOT discussed recommended improvements to Fulton Market between Halsted Street to Ogden Avenue. Gateway Arch Update and project timeline.
Its is the best presentation while you are designing streets or parking in urban areas or in rural areas you should have basic knowledge of urban designing streets and parking Design
This presentation was made to the Pune District guardian minister, Ajit Pawar on Feb 13th at the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce by Parisar representative, Ranjit Gadgil.
The Minister did not receive it favorably and refused to promise that the CMD would not be changed. True to that 6 months later the CMD has been transferred and no new person has been appointed. Also the promised 650 bus purchase has been mired in controversy and no new buses have been added to the fleet.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

2. Background
• India still urbanizing
• Cities still being built
• Cost to ensure “barrier
free”/”universally accessible” low –
compared to retrofit
• Large segment of population will
benefit
• Co-benefits
– Walk/Public Transport
– Safety
• Economic returns on investment high
3. Background
• Lot of focus on accessible buildings
• Public spaces ignored
– Streets
– Public Transport systems
4. Situation
Today
• Only width of footpath and width of
carriageway is decided
• All other “engineering” details are
decided
• Storm water drains and other
utilities
• Materials (concrete/UTWT/paving
blocks/curbing etc)
• No attention to detailed design of
the entire road from edge-to-edge
5. Situation
Today
• Missing elements
– How to deal with trees/utilities on
footpaths
– Footpath continuity (curb cuts)
– Universal accessibility
– Location of street lights, signages, traffic
signals etc
– Location of street vendors
– Bus stops
– Crossings (locations, zebra, pedestrian
refuge etc)
– Auto-rikshaw stands
– Bus stop (design and location)
– Traffic calming designs
6. Comparison with “designed” Streets
• High quality bus stops –
Pedestrians have plenty of space
• Poor quality bus stops – block
pedestrian path
15. • Pedestrians on the road –
accidents likely• No pedestrians on the motor
carriageway
16. • Pleasant walking environment
– patterned walkways • Footpaths in disrepair
17. Pedestrian
Subways
and FOBs
Not preferred by pedestrians
Expensive
Requires huge amount of space
Tendency to become dirty and
abandoned
Can be unsafe for women esp. at night
Legally must be diabled compliant –
ramp/lift
NOT A GOOD OPTION
22. National Urban Transport Policy
Equitable allocation
of road space -
focus on people
rather than vehicles
Non-Motorized
Transport is
environmentally
friendly and must
be given their due
share
Have to address
safety concerns of
pedestrians and
cyclists
Features such as
safe bicycle parking,
shade, landscaping,
drinking & resting
stations needed
23. Solution
Street Design
•By Empanelled Urban
Designers
•Using Street Design
Manual
•Specialized Audits
•Universal
Accessibility
•Safety
Tender
•Use bill of quantities
from Design
Execution
•Monitored by Urban
Designer
27. Street Design Guidelines set broader policy and give clear instructions for how
to plan and implement various street elements in various situations.
28.
29. Street Design Guidelines -
Overview
• Road Geometries
defined based on RoW
• Concept of MUZ
• Street elements
(mandatory +
recommended)
3 Major
Components
34. Foothpaths
• Essential Elements
• Have to be wide
• Remove “conflicts” not “encroachments”
• Hawkers --> Hawker zones
• Trees/Greenery
• Public spaces to sit, water fountains
• Utilities
• Garbage
• Toilets
• Surface quality, cleanliness, lighting,
continuity
35. Expected
Outcomes
• Simple to use guide for engineers,
consultants and contractors
• Fully utilizable RoW / Increased
“people” throughput
• Safety
• Fully handicapped accessibility –
compliance with PwD* Act and
UNCRPD*
• Consistency across whole city
• In line with CMP’s stated goals
* Persons with Disabilities Act & United
Nationals Convention on the Rights of
People with Disabilities
36. Street Design Guidelines for Pune
• V.K Arch developed draft Urban Street Design Guidelines
• Revised by in-house panel
• Approved by Commissioner and instructed Dept. to use
Urban Designers have been empanelled
• 8 in-house Urban Designers
• 4 National Urban Design Companies – 100 km
package
Take up new/upgrade streets using new process
Road Dept./”Planning Cell” Design Dept.
• Enforce Street Design Guidelines for future road
works – need “approval” process
• Continue capacity building
