With a building frenzy of elevated roads, fly-overs, foot-over-bridges and skywalks in cities across the country, it’s clear that most Indian city governments are prioritizing a drastic increase of road capacity and the creation of a spatial separation between motorized traffic and pedestrians. Instead of indiscriminately paving the way for motorized traffic with flyovers and skywalks, the time is right for India’s urban authorities to start adopting alternative planning scenarios with a focus on Pedestrianisation and Traffic Calming along with investment in mass transit systems to reduce car dependency.
