Sustainable Mobility Solutions
Role of DevelopersSession 5B
By 2030Tremendous growth is both an opportunity and a threat!
Growth in India
By 2030:
More than 200 million people will be added to our cities
Vehicles will grow 4 to 6 times to about 400-600 million in India
70% of building stock that will be there in 2030 is yet to be built in India

EMBARQ India’s Impact
23,000 Homes
100,000 People
10 Developments
Through these projects we have reached out and impacted
VisionWithin the next 5 years we intend to reach out and impact:
5 Million People
250 Developments
1 Million Homes
What Needs to be DoneThese are the work areas we identified
Peer Learning Platform
Develop Tools and Impart Training to Developers
Document Best Practices and Publish Case Studies
Develop Benchmarks and Indicators
Project Locations
Work with Real Estate Developers to ensure:
Greater use of sustainable mobility strategies
Solutions promoting safe and energy-efficient travel by walking, cycling, and public transit
Adopt mixed land uses
Create safe public spaces
Increase accessibility to jobs, schools, amenities, community functions
Improve connectivity to public transit
Building Sustainable, Energy Efficient & Connected Communities in India
Create greater demand for alternate modes (cycling and walking) by providing the infrastructure – Ms. Manjula
Increase mixed use and cater to needs like last mile connectivity – Ms. Manjula
Change mindset towards one of shared space – Mr. JP Gupta
Understand market trends – Dr. Dario Hidalgo
Transport and accessibility is a social problem, so need to work with people across sections of society & stakeholder groups – Dr. Ashwin Mahesh
Some messages from yesterday…..
PROJECT APPROACH
Design Audits in Upcoming Developments
Survey of Residents in Existing Large Developments to Establish Benchmarks for Bangalore
Best Practice Guide and Training Course for Developer Community
Total dwelling units = 5,350Total Population impacted is 21,400
DESIGN AUDIT CONSIDERATIONS:Master Plan Design, Mobility & Accessibility Indicators
Land Use – existing density, mix of uses (%), total no. and types of residential units, parking demand, etc.
Neighbourhood – development type, proximity to amenities, street network, block sizes, etc.
Transport Network – distance to public transit stops, infrastructure – bus shelters, bike & vehicle parking etc.
Street Network – street types, design & density, speed limits, intersection design, traffic calming, street parking, pedestrian & bike infrastructure, etc.
Pedestrian Network - exclusive pedestrian routes, design metrics, signage, street infrastructure and landscaping, etc.
Bike Network - design metrics for bike lanes, bike infrastructure
Jobs and Amenities – no. of employment opportunities, distance to CBD or retail/commercial points
INITIAL OBSERVATIONSDesign Audits
Disconnected residential communities
Absence of safe access to transit modes
High volume of internal vehicular trips
Lack of infrastructure to support alternate modes of mobility
Absence of traffic calming measures esp. at key intersections
Lack of a continuous network for pedestrians
Lack of safe open spaces, segregated from vehicles
INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONSDesign Audits
Audit Recommendation Categories
Macro Scale – Master Plan: Improving Street Network ConnectivityMeso Scale – Street Scale: Design based on Green Transportation HierarchyMicro Scale – Designing for People: safe, walkable, public spaces
Key StrategiesDevelop alternate networks of mobilityRelocate community amenities to enable easy non-motorized traffic (NMT) movementRedesign streets to accommodate NMT infrastructureEnsure safe access for pedestrians, NMT and vehicles Enhance open space connectivity

INITIAL OBSERVATIONSHousehold Surveys – What is my primary travel mode?
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYSOur household's decision to move to our current residence was impacted by …
Distance from our current residence to schools
Open spaces & safe environment within our residential community
Distance from our current residence to employment opportunities
Distance from our current residence to retail shops and other amenities
Number of retail and amenity shops located within my residential community
Distance from our residence to key transport locations: public transit, rail station, airport, etc.

Strongly agree
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYSI am concerned about safety of household members during travel to/from our apartments
When possible & services are available, I prefer to stay within my apartments for retail/shopping trips
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
I would walk more if:
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
Footpaths were more common / available everywhere
Footpaths were better maintained & included more amenities such as benches
I had shower and changing facilities at office / work
The pedestrian network (footpath / benches / trees providing shade etc) inside my community was better
The pedestrian network (footpath / benches / trees providing shade etc) near my office was better
It was safer
It was shorter or there was a short-cut available
More friends / peers / co-workers also walk
There were fewer cars / less noise pollution and/or less air pollution
0.00% 10.00% 20.00% 30.00% 40.00%
I would cycle more if:
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
I lived closer to my intended destinations
If I owned a cycle
Cycle parking was more available and/or more convenient
I had shower and changing facilities at work
More cycle lanes were available on roads in and around where I live
It was safer
I had more time
There were fewer cars / less noise pollution / and/or less air pollution
More friends / peers / co-workers did
0.00% 5.00% 10.00% 15.00% 20.00% 25.00%
I would use public transport more if:
INITIAL OBSERVATIONS FROM HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
There was a shuttle service from my residence to my preferred public transit stop; in-terchange; or final destination
There were better public transport services and connectivity in Bangalore
It was less expensive
It was safer
It was faster or more reliable
It was less crowded

INTRODUCTION
Current housing demand being addressed through the development of large residential “Gated Communities”
Located in peripheral areas or near major business & technology parks
Typically cater to upper-middle and middle class
Provide 24-hour power backup, security, community spaces, recreational facilities and some commercial areas
Mostly walled due to security demands and prevents public access => isolated from each other and leads to to connectivity and access issues
