Transition Roadmap for Sustainable and Efficient Transport for GIDC Naroda

October 1, 2024

| Transport

Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, with cities emerging as magnets for growth, jobs, and opportunity. India, now the most populous nation, is witnessing a surge in urban population and infrastructure demands. As urban areas expand, emissions from sectors like transport are rising rapidly, threatening local air quality and public health. In response, India has launched national initiatives like the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) and committed to net-zero emissions by 2070.

| Air

The development of a detailed CAZ (clean air zone) plan would focus on measures related to traffic and transportation (such as pedestrianization, cycle tracks, and EV mobility), urban planning (land use plans, heritage conservation), emission control, air quality monitoring and dust control. Through this plan, the program seeks to prioritize solutions based on emission reduction to enhance air quality in the study area. This approach aligns with sectoral sustainability goals by addressing environmental, social, and economic aspects of urban air quality improvement.
