OUR VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE CITIES
CONNECTED COMPACT COORDINATED
Avoiding the lock-in effect of unsustainable urban development

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

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

• 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.
