The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 03, 2025
CITING poor urban planning causing lack of infrastructure—a situation exacerbated by increasing vehicular traffic and inadequate footpaths—experts on Tuesday voiced their concern about pedestrians' rights being ignored in India.
They were speaking at a two-day 'Connect Karo', a flagship annual event organised by World Resources Institute (WRI) India, an independent research organisation, in New Delhi.
Speaking at a session titled "Safer Streets for Tomorrow: Learnings from a Decade of Practice", Director of National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) Debolina Kundu said that none of the urban mission launched by the Government aimed at renewal of cities except Smart Cities Mission (SCM) talks about walkability.
