#WUF13
We ❤️ the people who visited us at the booth today, including Joint Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Shri Kuldip Narayan and Shri Abhay Kumar, Ambassador to Baku, who inaugurated it.

Our colour (so much #colour) drew in the crowds, who stayed for the colouring (so much colouring!), #games, and great conversations.

It's the end of our first day at the Expo and we are full of #energy. The people we met at our stall and others, the amazing work we saw, and the very gratifying feeling of seeing crowds of #happy faces mulling around our tiny stall.

Total Raahgiri Day energy!

“We need to add emotions when we plan our cities and roads,” said Dr. Arpit Jain, IPS, DCP, Gurgaon, at today’s dialogue.

Urban vitality isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about how spaces make us feel. Streets that are safe, well-lit, and welcoming build trust. Because when we design with emotions in mind, we don’t just create roads and buildings - we create cities that care for people.

Melissa reminded us that urban vitality comes from designing streets and public spaces that really serve people. When we plan for safe walking paths, comfortable public spaces, proper lighting, and environments that invite us to gather, cycle, and connect; we create cities that remain vibrant and #inclusive for everyone.

Because as we age, what sustains our independence and dignity is not just infrastructure for movement, but spaces where we feel safe, connected, and alive.

"How do we create urban vitality?"

At today’s much-awaited dialogue with Melissa Bruntlett, Equitable Mobility Expert, @modacitylife, hosted at @Nagarro - the conversation circles around a powerful idea:

👉 Design for the Behaviour YOU WANT.

@Raahgiri_Fdn More to go!!

[Raahgiri Foundation @Raahgiri_Fdn]

After the inspiring transformation of Anath Road into the vibrant and inclusive Janpath Street, another remarkable change has taken shape - this time in Lane No. 7, Sector-18, Gurugram.

Once dismissed as a dump yard, the lane has been reimagined into a true People’s Street. The redesign focuses on #usability, #accessibility, and #sustainability, featuring:

- Dedicated walking and cycling lanes
- Bollards to restrict misuse by motorized vehicles
- Lush plantations offering fresh air and summer shade
- Clear lane markings and street lighting for safety and visibility
- Bioswales for effective rainwater recharge
- Designated parking and proper traffic signage & much more...

This transformation showcases a growing movement towards reclaiming public spaces for people, making our streets safer, greener, and more inclusive for all.

Immensely impressed by the "Spatial Storytelling" exhibition at #UrbanAdda organised by @Raahgiri_Fdn, @TheICCT_India, @Gurugram! Kudos to curator Sagar Singh for transforming a space into a living narrative with sustainable materials, beautifully aligning with #SDG17. Truly delightful to see the integration of visual and performing arts driving partnerships for sustainable cities! A remarkable effort for a better urban future.

Urban Adda Day - 1 I Session: 2
- India Towards Vision Zero -

"Active policing that’s mindful of #pedestrians, especially #children who often go unnoticed by drivers of high-seated vehicles, is essential."

"Road safety strategies directly influence fatality rates. Streets designed with people at the centre can have a truly transformative impact. Emphasizing seatbelt use, daytime running lights, pedestrian safety, and modern vehicle technologies can go a long way in saving lives."

- Prof Geetam Tiwari, Emeritus Professor, TRIP C IIT - Delhi (@trip_centre)

An eye-opening session by @samarthyam at #UrbanAdda!

In a powerful surprise activity, participants were invited to step into the shoes of persons with disabilities, using a #wheelchair, blind stick, and crutches, to truly understand the everyday challenges they face in navigating public spaces.

The reflections that followed were heartfelt and thought-provoking. Accessibility is not a privilege, it’s a right.
