[Sonal Shah @Abaezgrace]

Early March was intense as I travelled to Berlin and met 19 other women from 13 countries: #feminist voices influencing #transport. We had open conversations: pride in our work, the challenges, road blocks we faced and gender (in)equality in Germany. I've had a few thoughts:

What if road owning agencies: ULBs (Urban Development Departments), Public Works Departments and NHAI adopted #Vision #Zero? How might that change the way roads are planned, designed, built and maintained?

"Parking on sidewalks communicate the implicit wrong message that motor vehicle owners are more important than the rest of the population. To ensure they do not park illegally on sidewalks, motor vehicle registration should require proof of long-term access to a parking space."

Kathrine is the first woman to run a marathon: Destiny is not some angel coming down and tapping you on the head at the perfect time. Destiny is finishing the job. Just put one foot in front of the other and get it done, and that’s when destiny happens.

@Abaezgrace on how gender equity can be instituted in urban governance

@Urban_Catalysts @WBG_Transport @ADB_HQ @UNHabitatIndia @unwomenindia

[Hindustan Times @htTweets]

#Analysis | There is an increasing discussion around the importance of incorporating a gender lens in urban mobility, with limited attention to urban governance and planning frameworks.

Meet @Urban_Catalysts, a transformative organization that is mitigating and adapting to climate change through gender-sensitive urban mobility plans and guidelines. They bridge the gap between communities and decision-makers to create inclusive public spaces for all genders. 💜🙌

[WomenMobilizeWomen @WomenMobilize]

Did you know that city design, policies, institutional, & regulatory frameworks can reinforce traditional gender roles & stereotypes? @Urban_Catalysts are changing that through their feminist development approaches to transform mobility systems and public spaces for all womxn.🚶‍♀️

@Abaezgrace on what can #mohalla #buses do to benefit resource poor #women

@kgahlot @TransportDelhi @DimtsLtd @Urban_Catalysts

[Sonal Shah @Abaezgrace]

#Mohalla buses can reach underserved areas of #Delhi. They must permit #women w/goods (#street #vendors & home-based #workers), serve destinations traversed by #women, provide a #frequent service, halt for #women pax.

@Abaezgrace on the underutilization of the MLCP near Green Park Metro Station, based on our study:
On-street parking prices need to be substantially higher on Balbir Saxena Marg and Nala Road to encourage long-term users to shift to the tower parking 1/2

https://t.co/dfkY6onSfq

[C-SEC @CSECities]

"Balbir Saxena Marg, is a no-parking zone & has numerous cars parked, mostly for free, due to limited enforcement. If pedestrian facilities on Aurobindo Marg are improved, Yusuf Sarai market users could walk comfortably to and from the MLCP.”

Our report: https://t.co/5DSXTq4agn

[C-SEC @CSECities]

The only people who get free housing are people in jail and people in government. But we provide a space for cars to park everywhere for free on public land. We have to address the whole politics of parking, first and foremost.

If you can’t even enforce parking regulations, then forget about trying to enforce a congestion charge. (In India, including Delhi) parking is provided at an incredibly cheap price, if not free...

As #IWD month draws to a close, I took a moment to reflect. We've had a number of firsts in #India, for #gender #inclusive #cities #mobility:

- In 2014, led a section on gender-sensitive cities in the URDPFI Guidelines, at @WRIIndia. Link: https://t.co/JU4w7ehWiF

@MCD_Delhi Parking is not a right, and needs to be priced and regulated.

Free parking is against the principles of the Delhi Parking Management Rules, 2019

@ut_MoHUA @LtGovDelhi @TransportDelhi @ptf_delhi

[Sonal Shah @Abaezgrace]

This is against the principles of the Delhi Parking Management Rules 2019.

On-street parking Parking is NOT a right, but must be regulated and priced.

At #Uddhsheya, this week, @Abaezgrace asked panelists what #safety means to them.

They said: #freedom of #mobility, feeling #safe, not fearing #violence.
