Municipal commissioners move on. Should a city's long-term plans move with them?

Pimpri-Chinchwad's experience with Harit Setu raises a larger question: how can political consensus and institutional capacity help sustain urban transformation beyond individual leaders?

India's first National Household Travel Survey revealed a strikingly high share of two-wheelers.

But what surprised those behind the survey even more was the low use of public transport.

Dr Raja Gopalakrishnan explains what stood out—and why it matters.

A street redesign can look convincing on paper. Making it work on the ground is another matter.

Pimpri-Chinchwad's experience shows why testing designs, engaging residents and resolving competing demands on street space matter as much as the design itself.

Transport is taking a bigger bite out of household budgets.

Conveyance is now the largest category of non-food spending—nearly 9% of total expenditure in urban India and 8% in rural India.

Dr @_saurabhgarg of MoSPI explains why this matters for mobility planning.

Why is a short journey often so difficult in an Indian city?

Pimpri-Chinchwad's Harit Setu aims to connect homes, schools, shops and public transport through continuous walking and cycling routes.

The idea: make entire journeys easier, not just improve individual streets.
