‘Climate Action, Built & Cultural Heritage in Indian Cities’, a consortium of CRCI, CHC & @UDCspeak is preparing a Toolkit for @NIUA_India. Here are glimpses from the full-day workshop organised to gather feedback on 20th Feb'24 @lowercasevowels @gurmeetsrai @urbanismisblue

🗣️"As we leapfrog through urban development in the urgency to establish a global image, a question haunts us - through the optics of it all - How and for whom are our cities being built?"

We are prompted to reflect by Vidhya Mohankumar, founder of @UDCspeak.

தமிழ்நாடு இளைஞர் நலன் மற்றும் விளையாட்டு மேம்பாட்டுத்துறை சார்பில் சர்வதேச விளையாட்டு நகரம் அமைப்பது, தொகுதிக்கு ஒரு மினி ஸ்டேடியம் அமைப்பது என ஏராளமான திட்டங்களை அறிவித்திருந்தோம்.

அந்தத் திட்டங்கள் தொடர்பான திட்ட விளக்க அறிக்கைகளை இன்று ஆய்வு செய்து, அவற்றுக்கு செயல்வடிவம் கொடுப்பதற்கான சாத்தியக்கூறுகள் குறித்து அதிகாரிகள் - அலுவலர்களுடன் இன்று கலந்தாலோசித்தோம்.

தமிழ்நாட்டை விளையாட்டுத்துறையின் முன்னணி மாநிலமாக்கவும், விளையாட்டுத்துறையில் நம் மாநிலத்தவரின் பங்களிப்பை அதிகப்படுத்தும் வகையிலும், தொடர்ந்து உழைப்போம்.

10 years ago today we installed NYC's first Citi Bike station. They said that bikes would bring traffic chaos, danger & lawsuits. What happened instead was history: 178 million trips, 100k rides daily on 28k bikes, turning NYC into one of the world's great cycling cities.

Periodic reminder that building bicycle lanes is not a technical challenge. It is a political one!

Bravo @chennaicorp! Shows character to take on a problem and address it openly!

To fulfill the long time wish of the differently-abled &in compliance with the CRZ guidelines,a wooden ramp has been constructed in an eco-friendly manner at Marina beach, so that it will not affect the nesting of olive ridley turtles. Though the facility is permanent, (1/3)

[Supriya Sahu IAS @supriyasahuias]

A wooden ramp at Marina Beach in Chennai is a fabulous initiative to enable differently able people, people on wheel chair, senior citizens enjoy the beautiful beach and cool waters.Nice one @chennaicorp #InternationalDayOfDisability
