A bike-lane moved 2.5X as many people as a regular traffic lane in a @TFL study, & given that they are half the width, the study concluded that bike-lanes are 5X as efficient as vehicle traffic lanes. HT @urbanthoughts11

Mobility in cities is about space.

“The pandemic has sparked conversations about how else #publicspace can & should be used. But, in spite of all this, something is still missing because most #cities do not have a comprehensive, citywide strategy for #publicspacemanagement.” https://t.co/IvexYjfPlr #CityRiseNYC

A continuous, uninterrupted, and safe pathway under smart city mission could encourage many Surtis to adopt a better fitness regime and an environmentally sensitive mode of commute. #surat #urbandesign #urbanplanning #cityofsurat #suratsmartcity #smartcities #streetdesign

Let's work towards streets designed for all users like cyclist, pedestrians, vendors & maximize the use of public transport over private vehicles. Streets that make 5 - min neighborhoods possible, safe & enjoyable. #surat #urbanplanning #cityofsurat #suratsmartcity #smartcities

Surat is known as the city of flyovers (over 120). Have you ever thought of the number of public spaces we could have just by transforming these under-utilised under-bridge spaces? #surat #urbandesign #urbanplanning #cityofsurat #suratsmartcity #smartcities #streetdesign

Can Surat’s Panas-Althan Corridor be more than just a medium for vehicles? “Nishtha” hoped if she could skate safely without any fear. #surat #urbandesign #placemaking #lmnplacemaking #urbanplanning #cityofsurat #suratsmartcity #smartcities #participatorydesign #streetdesign

Udhana Magdalla road is one of the busiest roads in Surat. Wouldn’t designated bike lanes help us reach safely & motivate to use bicycles to further help in curbing air and noise pollution? #surat #urbandesign #placemaking #urbanplanning #cityofsurat #suratsmartcity #lmn

Canal Road with the fresh breeze from the surrounding lush green farmlands, a prime choice for Surtis to follow their fitness routine. Can we design for a safer and uninterrupted bicycle track?

Isn’t it a high time we start considering the importance of ecological design and realize our responsibilities towards the environmental crisis we face today?

How do we ensure all public spaces - natural and built - are safe and welcoming to all ?

What are the myriad ways to build a more equitable future through our shared spaces ?
