E10 How India Moves | Trends of India's Urban Mobility Crisis | The Sunita Narain Show

In this episode, Sunita Narain addresses the critical issue of urban mobility in India. She highlights how traffic congestion is not just a personal inconvenience but a major challenge with significant costs to the economy and public health, particularly air pollution. Drawing on a report (read our full special reportage on 'How India Moves', here: https://www.downtoearth.org.in/topic/...) from her colleagues at Down to Earth and the Centre for Science and Environment, she reveals surprising trends found in a study of 50 Indian cities. Ms. Narain argues that the exponential growth of private vehicles, especially cars, is consuming road space while moving a disproportionately small number of people. She stresses the importance of prioritizing and improving mass transit systems like buses, which are declining in number despite being the most efficient way to move large populations. The show emphasizes that the future of urban mobility lies in moving people, not cars, by investing in integrated public transport, regulating para-transit, and creating safe, walkable, and cycle-friendly cities. #urban #urbanmobility #mobility #india #delhi #mumbai #kolkata #chennai #bangalore #ebus #electricbuses #electricvehicle #metro #delhimetro #mumbaimetro #kolkatametro #chennaimetro #cycling #walking Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:03 - How India Moves? 01:55 - Political Economy of Mobility 02:55 - Right to Clean Air 03:17 - Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) pollution 04:21 - Private transport is exploding 06:44 - Bus has been displaced but not replaced 09:24 - Bus transport is not dead but declining 12:29 - Real cost of public transport 14:59 - What is Para-transit? 17:28 - Sprawling cities, increasing vehicular congestion 18:33 - What is a true meaning of mobility 20:03 - Para-transit is part of mass-transit 20:34 - We can still walk & cycle today 21:53 - Way forward: Moving people & not only vehicles ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @d2e   ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Down to Earth is Science and Environment fortnightly published by the Society for Environmental Communication, New Delhi.
