Question

Learn about urban planning in other cities around the world. In what ways can some of those aspects be adapted for a city near you?

Answer 1

I learned about urban planning in cities such as Singapore, Copenhagen and Curitiba. These cities have good public transport, green spaces, safe walking and cycling paths, and proper waste-management systems.

For a city near me, such as Mumbai, some of these ideas can be adapted in the following ways:

• Improve public transport and connect buses, trains and metro services.
• Build more footpaths and cycling lanes to encourage walking and cycling.
• Create more parks, gardens and green spaces.
• Improve waste collection, recycling and cleanliness.
• Plan roads and buildings better to reduce traffic and overcrowding.
• Encourage clean energy and environmentally friendly buildings.

These changes can help make Mumbai cleaner, greener, less congested and more comfortable for people to live in.
