Inspiring innovative ideas
Shri Arvindbhai PanjariCouncillor, Porbander Municipal CorporationAttended a study tour to Bengaluru and Mysuru, March 2017
Of the many innovations we saw during
our study tour to Karnataka, I was most
impressed with the Public Bicycle
Sharing system in Mysuru, and the
Tender Sure roads of Bengaluru. I will
take these ideas back to my peers in
Porbander, and hope to implement them
soon! They will definitely help my city
become more sustainable and
equitable.
Changing attitudes
Smt. Meena M GajjarDeputy Town PlannerSurat Municipal CorporationAttended multiple trainings in Gandhinagar, 2016-17
The trainings - especially the hands-
on exercises - helped me realise that
as a town planner, I need to work
across disciplines and sectors – such
as public transport - to ensure that
urban development is integrated,
holistic, and effective. This
understanding will help enrich my
work!
