[Webinar] How Can Indian Cities Construct a Future for Walking

21st August 2018 by Leave a Comment

Description: In this webinar, the speakers discussed on how Indian cities can construct safe and attractive footpaths that are accessible by all. This webinar gives a brief introduction to our publication – Footpath Fix – that provides guidance on footpath construction details, especially that of different utilities.

Many Indian cities have begun to acknowledge the fundamental role of walking in everyday life but are stuck at getting the details right. This short guide is more of a cheat-sheet for urban designers, municipal engineers, and contractors on how to implement footpaths in complex urban environments. Everyone who has seen it is raving about it.

Nashwa Naushad is a Research Associate – Urban Development with ITDP India and works out of the Chennai office.
Pranjal Kulkarni is a Research Associate – Urban Development with ITDP India and he works out of the Pune office.
