Experts from London, Bogota at Delhi govt road redesign workshop

As it gears up to revamp 540km of roads in the city as per international standards, the Delhi government will on Tuesday organise a workshop to learn from the experiences of top global cities.

Organised by the government’s Dialogue and Development Commission (DDC) of Delhi, the workshop will feature transport and urban planning experts from London, New York and Bogota.

Jasmine Shah, DDC vice-chairperson, said, “As we will start work on transforming roads, it will be good to learn from the journeys of these cities. We plan to make our streets accessible to all, provide infrastructure for cycling, among others.”

In 2019, the Delhi government launched its ambitious initiative to redesign 540km of roads across the city. The Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) maintains around 1,280km of roads in the city.
