· India · Indian Express, Zee News, LiveMint
The Delhi Master Plan 2047 aims to improve urban mobility by focusing on the 'Right to Walk' through the creation of pedestrian-only zones and safer infrastructure. Data indicates that non-motorized transport, including walking and cycling, accounts for 42% of total trips in the capital. To encourage walking, the Delhi Development Authority has proposed 14 specific plans currently under review by road-owning agencies.
