OUR VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES

CONNECTED COMPACT COORDINATED

Avoiding the lock-in effect of unsustainable urban development

8

High Growth is in the

periphery of the city;

Low growth in the

existing center;

Metro is an

opportunity to densify

to an optimum

manner;

BENGALURU

Developers are working on projects which are in the periphery, due to:

• Availability of large land parcels;• Availability to greenfield sites (cheaper);

In the safe access

approach the needs of

“PEOPLE” lie at the

centre of the strategies

developed for station

accessibility plans and

station area

improvements.

SAFE ACCESS APPROACH

13

SAFE ACCESS MANUAL: Safe Access to Mass Transit Stations in Indian Cities

Image Source: WRI India

–WRI India projects in Mumbai,

Bangalore and Hubli-Dharwad are

heavily referenced as well as

cases from other cities (Indian and

global) where innovative

mechanisms have been applied to

create or improve station

accessibility and station areas.

14

AVOID SHIFT AND IMPROVE APPROACH

AVOID - To achieve this: incentivize less car dependence and disassociate with social status

SHIFT to alternative modes of transport, more participation and diversity

IMPROVE technologies and design strategies to make TOD more economically attractive for all

MAKING TRANSIT MORE ATTRACTIVE

• A station area is a place of connectivity where different

modes of transportation come together seamlessly and

where work, live, shop and play can happen

simultaneously.

16

MANAGING SPRAWL

• Densifying around transit: SAP & DCRs, Bangalore;

• Strengthening Neighbourhoods: NIP, NIPC
