Structure/Thematic Panels:
Smart Transportation: With growing population and the phenomenal rise of private motor vehicle in cities, the ability to move easily has become a major problem. The focus in this session would be on identifying smart mobility options.
Inclusive Cities: The benefits of development and prosperity are not reaching deprived sections of the society in cities due to which there is a growing gap between the rich and the poor. Safety and security of vulnerable communities, including women, is also a major concern.
Urban Infrastructure Planning and Design: Cities in developing countries exhibit numerous physical infrastructure deficiencies. This session will examine the issues related to urban infrastructure planning.
Social Infrastructure: People’s access to various kinds of social infrastructure is severally constrained. Urbanisation creates a tremendous pressure due to which the available infrastructure and institutions are failing to meet the rising demand.
