McGill Professor asks “Do people matter?” in seminar at the Asian Development Bank

Professor Madhav G. Badami from the School of Urban Planning and McGill School of Environment asked some tough questions during his seminar on pedestrian accessibility at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) last month.

His presentation outlined the serious environmental, health, welfare, and resource-use impacts caused by rapidly growing motor vehicle activity in India. He argues for the vital importance of pedestrian accessibility given the characteristics of the Indian context. The presentation covers the current status of pedestrian infrastructure and facilities, pedestrian accessibility, and the challenges confronting efforts to provide for pedestrians and non-motorized modes in Indian cities. The slides from his presentation are available here.

“Given the critical importance of pedestrian accessibility, and the lack of attention to it in Indian (and other Asian) cities, I am committed to developing a multi-pronged research programme focused on this issue. During my discussions at the Clean Air initiative-Asia, and with several others in India, there was strong agreement that we should try and build a network for research and advocacy on pedestrian accessibility.” ~ Madhav G. Badami

Badami’s visit to ADB followed a hectic two-month research trip throughout India where he made progress on current research and sought to develop new partnerships. He met with researchers, practitioners, vehicle industry executives, and decision-makers at various institutions across the country, including IIT Madras, the Madras Institute of Development Studies, Ashok Leyland Limited, the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation, IIT Delhi, TERI, the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, and the Delhi Transport Corporation.
