SeniorConsultantatUTTIPEC,DelhiDevelopmentAuthority andMemberofHighCourtSpecialTaskForceonUrbanTransportation 3:45pm Tuesday,29June2010 The Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) was established by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in 2008 to, inter alia, enhance mobility, reduce congestion, promote traffic safety and avoid transport planning pitfalls. While planning and policy frameworks applicable in Delhi provide a strong mandate for Transit Oriented Development (TOD), this is not necessarily reflected in infrastructure investments and other decisions made by the city.

Set in a context where TOD competes for space with other visions of the city, the presentation discusses that changes that are necessary to move to a TOD for the city and builds on the speakers experience with UTTIPEC, where the city strategies, projects and plans that will determine the future of Delhi are currently being negotiated. Romi Roy is an architect by training, and currently holds senior consulting positions with the Govt of Delhi and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and is also Visiting Faculty member at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi.
