Sensible Cities

Delivering info on sensible solutions for the new age sustainable cities. RT not endorsement.

[Sensible Cities @SensibleCities]

Correct. But no change at policy/decision level
What might work:
1. Sensitise planners/engg. at classroom level & road authorities through circulars
2. Bring codes with revised strategy from #CRRI #IRC
3. Assess every urban road project in terms of modal shift to PT and not LOS

A lesson for #India. More roads doesn’t mean less congestion.

Not wasting money on more roads and investing in #PublicTransport #Walking and #Cycling infrastructure .

https://t.co/YKZqQIAcHt local airsheds must be considered as a mitigation action zone rather than having focus only on urban areas. AQ improvement is a collective act #AirPollution #AirQuality

[UrbanVoices.in @urbanvoicesin]

Much ado about nothing ! 😭

You can’t escape traffic jams bcos flyovers or elevated corridors can only take you from one traffic congestion area to the next one.

Desperate time, require innovative & non populist measures. #AtalSetu

We've heard that many people are afraid of a range of animals. So, what if we add automobiles to the picture?

What should you target to effectively increase the safety for you and your loved ones?

[Madhav Pai @madpai]

Is Air Pollution just a winter problem?

Is stubble burning the only source of air pollution in northern India in winter?

How can we utilize public space to reduce heat?

Can we clean up the air in Indian cities in 10 years or less?

Cat and egg situation. Build fast roads to combat slow movement. Then slow the fast roads to save accidents. Spend crores in the process.

"After fifty years of working towards a safe, sustainable, and inclusive road system, the Netherlands has made fatality rates for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicle occupants all converge at a very low level... and it is an incredible achievement."

[21st Century City @urbanthoughts11]

It could be this cheap and easy to install new protected bike lanes in your city and then make them more permanent with curbs etc. later
