When we plan for people first, we create healthier, more inclusive, and more liveable cities.

Are we ready to rethink urban planning in India? Let’s start the conversation and more importantly some action :)

✅ Mixed-use neighbourhoods reduce the need for long commutes.
✅ Green spaces outnumber parking lots.

The goal isn’t to ban cars-it’s to design cities where they’re an option, not a necessity.

What if we flipped the script? Instead of making more space for cars, we make space for people. Imagine cities where:

✅ Walking and cycling are safe, dignified, and convenient.
✅ Public transport is the preferred choice, not a last resort.

For decades, urban planning in India has prioritized wider roads, flyovers, and parking spaces over pedestrian pathways, cycling lanes, and robust public transit.

The result? Cities that encourage car dependency, making mobility inequitable and unsustainable.

Cars Are Not the Problem-Planning Cities Around Them Is 🙏🏼
In India, we often blame cars for our urban woes (which they deserve too)-traffic congestion, pollution, road fatalities & parking chaos.
But the real issue isn’t the car itself; it’s how our cities have been planned for cars, not for people.
