Estimated Growth in Emissions from Urban Transport – 2000 to 2030
+7.05% per year
State of our Cities
• Contribution > 65% of GDP• Revenues of ULBs < 10%• Skewed policies encouraging personal
motorization• Contradictory mandates of Ministries • Most importantly….lack of focus on
people when it comes to city planning
The transport paradox“Transport is unique as the
only development sector that
worsens as incomes rise.
While sanitation, health,
education and employment
tend to improve through
economic development, traffic
congestion tends to worsen.”

The transport paradox (con’d)
REALLY?

Thinking rationally- Corridor Capacity(People per hour on 3.5 m wide lane in a city - pphpd)
What does this mean for us? What do we loose?

TRANSPORT
The Push and Pull approach

SHIFTtowards lower

efficiency of vehicles
1. AVOID: Mainstream policies, and regulations
to ensure land-use & transport integration,TOD

2. SHIFT: Prioritize and Strengthen Existing Public Transport Networks (bus, Rail, IPT)
Delhi Metro - A political success
Financial Benefit - What can a city get for 1Bn US$?
426 kilometres of BRT
14 kilometres of elevated rail 7 kilometres of underground rail
40 kilometres of LRT

Janmarg, Ahmedabad- another political success
Opened Oct 200939 kms – 100,000 riders per day (Dec 2010)90 kms – 400,000 ridersper day (Dec 2014)

2c. Ensure People stay Safe and have Access

Indiranagar Metro Station on CMH Road
Example Namma Metro – Improving Access
Project area: 500m radius influence zone around the metro station., with a population 3.33lakhs and 7,255 households Detailed proposals focussed on a 150m radius around station. Surveys conducted for 350 residents, 180 visitors and 180 passers-by
3. IMPROVE
To sum up, “TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT”
THE OPPORTUNITY
High densities inside municipal limits (200+ hab/ha)
Mixed land-uses and compactnessShort to medium average trip lengths
(2-12 km); Already a very high share of NMT trips
(25-55%)Low-Medium public transport trip
shares (12-60%)‘Eyes’ on streets- safety
IT boon substituting trips
What should the Governments be
doing?
Land-use transport integration- Avoid urban sprawlPrioritize/ Improve performance and quality of
public transport modesImprove operating environment for NMT, IPT
modesKeep public health high on agendaDemonstrate political leadershipProvide enabling institutions and finances
Combine/contextualize technologiesCreate capacity
