Center for Urban Equity (CUE)

"The Centre for Urban Equity is organizing a workshop on ‘Methodology for Local (Low Carbon) Accessibility Plans for Indian Cities’ that will be held at 10 a.m. on March 29th, 2014 at GIDC Bhavan, CEPT University, Ahmedabad.

The Centre for Urban Equity, in a study funded by Shakti Foundation, attempts to conceptualize a ward area planning exercise which incorporates an accessibility perspective as well as integration with participatory planning and budgeting.
The idea of local accessibility plans is based on area (ward) level planning mechanism that is participatory, dynamic, bottom-up and linked with municipal budget.

Such planning mechanism would go a long way in realizing the objectives of the 74th Constitutional amendment act of steering municipal governance towards local self-governance.

A local level plan is also helpful as short-term plan to implement or to give feedbacks to the city level long-term plan in form of the development plan.
As part of this workshop, we are inviting city government officials, elected representatives, planning consultants and academicians to contribute to the idea of local accessibility plan. "
