Better cities through better streets
It’s like riding

Creating better streets

in Indian cities:
The journey
“I walk with my heart in my hand.”
“I have been cycling for more than 40 years.”
Two third of all trips are by walk, cycle or public
transport
Yet, the design of our streets tends to push the
vulnerable users to the fringes of the road
How most cities are designed
How world’s best cities are designed

Resulting in loss of precious lives every day
3507
pedestrians killed in
Tamil Nadu in 2017.
Other states:
1831-Maharashtra
1379-Andhra Pradesh
8/10 trips by women are on foot or public
transport
Designing ‘Complete Streets’ for all users and uses
Inspiring champions and building
A partnerships
Pilots in collaboration with local designers
Embed changes through standards and
B policy adoption
From 100kms to city-wide network plan
Expanding transformation: Institutional
C reforms and capacity building
National Smart City Mission — a catalyst
Developing national best practice standards
Complete Streets:
Policy Framework
A street provides
Access to jobs, Economic Social and An identity to a city

education and Opportunities Recreational
amenities Opportunities
A street has many uses
For mobility & service infrastructure Also as a public space
Walking and Cycling Personal Motor Gathering Vending & Shopping :

Formal & Informal Vehicles – mobile and Eyes on the street
Public Transport parked: Utilities
A street hosts many people
Of different transport modes and gender, Different age groups and physicalities
Pedestrians and Women as much as Dependent and The differently abled

Cyclists men independent children
and elderly
Designing ‘Complete Streets’ for all users and uses
Principles of Complete Streets
PRINCIPLES
1. Efficient Mobility
Multiple modes of travel
High quality facilities for

public and non-
motorised transport
Allocating space
equitably for all users
PRINCIPLES
2. Safety
Safe for all user groups
Segregated spaces for

each
Traffic calming measures
Personal safety good

lighting
Active edges and vending

PRINCIPLES
3. Universal
Accessibility
Accessible by all
Continuous and even-

surfaced footpaths
Table top crossings and

ramps
Tactile pavers wherever

level differences occur
PRINCIPLES
4. Liveability
Full of life - elements
that improve activity
attracts more users
Increases retail activity

for all users - transforms
the street into a vital
public space
PRINCIPLES
5. Sensitivity to
Local Context
Designed to suit the
local context
Factoring in local street

activities
Patterns of pedestrian
movement
Nearby land uses and the

needs of the people
PRINCIPLES
6. Environmental
Sustainability
Promotes sustainable
modes of transport
Improves local climatic

conditions
Reducing pollution and

heat
Capture and channel

rainwater through design
Benefits of Complete Streets
Improves
Sustainable
Mode Share
Case: St .Mark's
road, Bangalore
With the revamped

design, pedestrian
volumes have gone
up by
250%
BEFORE AFTER
Improves
Vibrancy
Case: Strøget,
Copenhagen
The revamp led to 6

times
more area for
pedestrians and
buses with
145
people/min
BEFORE AFTER
Reduces
Fatalities
Case: Plaza
program, New York
City
The plaza program

help reduce
pedestrian
accidents by
35% BEFORE AFTER

Allows
Equitable
Mobility for
all
Case: Avenida 9 de
Julio, Buenos Aires
The revamped
street
reduced bus travel
time by
63% BEFORE AFTER

Complete Streets Policy Process
01 Creation of Complete Streets Policy 02 Institutional Framework
Creating a shared vision with all stakeholders
Invite all
stakeholders —
representatives
from all road
owning agencies,
ULB, development
authority, civil
bodies, academia
etc.
Present the draft

vision and goals and
build consensus
Creating a shared vision with all stakeholders
“What kind of city

do we want to live
in?”
“How will mobility –

in particular
walking and cycling
- in the cities in the
future differ from
what it is today?”
Institutional Framework: Apex committee
To improve
coordination
between various
agencies at the city
level
To ensure
consistent
engagement with all
stakeholders
Institutional Framework: Complete Streets Cell
To support
planning, designing
of streets.
To oversee and
monitor the work
produced by design
consultants,
contractors as well
as general
maintenance of
streets.

● Streets with segregated ● Network of canals, lakes ● Streets with segregated
footpaths and other natural cycle tracks
● Pedestrian only streets features ● Cycle priority routes
● Only NMT - PT streets
● NMT Priority Streets
