#ABetterHebbal Design Challenge
#ABetterHebbal Design Challenge
If you are passionate about sustainable transportation, have a penchant to solve problems and are creative, then this challenge is for you.
CiFoS approached the Urban Development Department (UDD, Karnataka) with a pilot to increase adoption of sustainable transport in a specific area in Bengaluru city. Hebbal – a fast developing suburb was identified for the pilot. With an exponential rate of development in residential, work and transit density, Hebbal is seeing one of the worst traffic congestions. A new Metro line is being provisioned and being an axis for the North-South & East-West it attracts huge bus traffic as well.
This challenge is to crowd-source ideas and concepts around increasing the adoption of Micro-mobility options to feed mass transport that are currently available and are being provisioned for the immediate future.
Hebbal located around 10 km from the city centre is the gateway to the city from the airport. Currently, without strengthened public transportation serving this area, it is heavily reliant on private vehicles making it an unsustainable destination. The Hebbal precinct is soon emerging as a node for various transit modes such as Namma metro, Suburban Railway, BMTC, KSRTC etc. Integrating these nodes with increasing office spaces and high rise apartment developments to make it into a thriving and accessible neighbourhood is what #ABetterHebbal Challenge is seeking to do.
