In the spirit of freedom, let’s pledge to create Healthy Streets!

ITDP India Newsletter

August 2022

Streets are our portals to opportunities, experiences, and exchanges. Whether it is to get to work, go to school, grab a coffee, or meet a friend—we spend a lot of time on our streets.

But let’s face it, our streets are not safe. In India, over 1.3 lakh people lost their lives just in 2020 due to road crashes. One in five of them was a pedestrian or a cyclist—the two most vulnerable groups on our streets.

What if we could flip the reality, and create a world where everyone—regardless of age, gender, race, or physical ability—is safe on the streets? Where walking and cycling, the most affordable and independent modes of transport, are comfortable and enjoyable?

This 76th Independence Day, let's pledge to protect the freedom that walking and cycling give us and create a new world—one with Healthy Streets, Happy Streets.

Check out this video to immerse yourself in a 100-second version of this new world.

Presenting our infographic "10 things that make a Healthy Street!", available in three Indian languages!

Cities across India have begun to create Healthy Streets and spaces that prioritise people, and not just cars. Here’s a photo blog that captures the #HealthyStreets movement in India.
