Pedestrians as Afterthoughts: India’s Silent Street Crisis

Описание: In Indian cities, streets are designed mainly for vehicles and speed. Pedestrians are expected to adjust, dodge traffic, and walk on broken or missing footpaths. This daily struggle has become so normal that it is rarely questioned.

But it is a silent crisis.

In this video, we explain:

Why pedestrians are ignored in road design
How missing footpaths increase accidents and deaths
The daily risks faced by children, elderly, and workers
How car-first planning creates unsafe streets
Why walking is essential for public transport and city life
What people-first street design should look like
Walking is not optional.

It is the foundation of every city.

When pedestrians are treated as afterthoughts, cities become unsafe, unequal, and unlivable.
