  • Nowhere to Walk
    Nowhere to Walk Pune Walkability Survey Report 4 This walkability survey was conducted by Parisar on behalf of Clean Air Initiative (CAI) and was done using a toolkit provided by CAI which was adapted from the Global Walkability Index toolkit developed for the World Bank. The survey consists of three components, namely a Field Walkability Survey, a Pedestrian Interview Survey, and a Government/Stakeholder Survey. Contents Executive Summary 1 Introduction 3 Report 4 Scope of Study and Methodology 4 December 2010 Field Walkability Survey 6 Pedestrian Interviews 13 Pedestrian Preferences 15 Stakeholder Interviews 19 Conclusions and Recommendations 20 Nowhere to Walk Annexure I Pune Walkability Survey The Areas Surveyed 22 Annexures II to IV In a separate insert © Parisar 2010 Parisar Yamuna, I.C.S. Colony, Ganeshkhind Road, Pune 411007, India www.parisar.org Executive Summary Three months ago the Commissioner of Pune, Mahesh Zagade admitted that the city is becoming pedestrian-unfriendly even though 37% trips are made by walking. This is at once both obvious and astounding. Obvious as soon as one steps onto the streets and astounding that when so little is required to make things so much better for so many it still remains one of the most neglected areas in the city’s development. And this is not a neglect without consequences. In the year preceding this report, 320 pedestrians have been involved in serious accidents, 160 of them have been fatal. While the general public tends to blame unruly driving and lack of enforcement as the cause of this horrifying statistic, traffi c engineers the world over recognize that this is because of inadequate pedestrian infrastructure.

  • Integrated Cycling Network in Aurangabad
    RE-IMAGINING URBAN STREETS WITH WELL- INTEGRATED CYCLING NETWORK IN AURANGABAD AR. DAKSHA SHROFF KULDEEP BHATIA TUSHAR PAITHANKAR M.Arch – Urban Design, Professor & H.O.D., Assistant Professor Dept. of Architecture, Dept. of Architecture, Dept. of Architecture, MIT College, Aurangabad MIT College, Aurangabad MIT College, Aurangabad (MS) INDIA (MS) INDIA (MS) INDIA Rapid growth in urbanization increased urban population. The growing urban population places a significant burden on civic infrastructure and service like sanitation, water, sewage, housing, electricity and public transport. Large share of road is used by vehicular traffic which leads to increase in carbon footprints, road accidents, traffic congestion, pollution, etc. To overcome all such problems, we need to push ourselves towards clean, healthier and more efficient mode of transport. The use of bicycle is being gradually promoted by urban designers and planners. In order to increase the bicycle share and to provide safer, faster and more direct routes, a bicycle infrastructure is proposed for urban areas in a city of Aurangabad. The study identifies the potential of increase in bicycle use and will resolve traffic problems, reduces emissions and increase accessibility. Integrating cycling into everyday life provides a promising approach to improve urban streets and create liveable integrated communities, increase physical activity promotion and social interaction. Key Words: Urban Streets, cycle use, bicycle infrastructure. 1.0 INTRODUCTION – Global world is changing due to urbanisation.
