MobiliCity: Overview of the Panel Debate

A framework for sustainable mobility involves several aspects like:

• Land use patterns and city planning

• Public transportation systems – various modes and linkages between them

• Non-motorized forms of transport, and their role in last mile connectivity

• Balance between speed, comfort, availability and affordability of mobility systems to fit multiple sections of urban society

• Design and usage patterns of city's resources and amenities

• Choices for residents and migrants to live and work in multiple parts of the state, or all corners of the city

• Funding and payment patterns for mobility systems – the balance between welfare and profit systems

This will be a panel session covering above and more aspects of a city-wide framework or policy for sustainable mobility. The session will be opened by a short presentation describing an urban transportation policy for Bengaluru. Thereafter, a moderator will solicit advice and opinions from the panel and invite participation from the audience. The panel consists of senior local administrators, young politicians, experts as well as eminent citizens to provide diversity in opinions and real world experiences. A knowledgeable audience is expected to complete the picture.

The panel is not fully locked down yet.  The co-ordinator of this session is Jenny Pinto.
