Assurer un futur urbain équitable et durable…Promote an equitable and sustainable urban future. Urban Poverty and Transport: The Case of Mumbai, India. I know relatively little about day to day urban live in major cities in developing countries.
Thus, I was quite interested to read a new paper by World Bank researchers where they surveyed 5000 people in Mumbai, India concerning transportation patterns and commute times. (see World Bank Policy Research Working Paper 3693, September 2005 Greater Mumbai Region (GMR), which constitutes the core of the Mumbai metropolitan area. The GMR, with apopulation of 11.9 million people in 2001, occupies 468 sq. km. This makes Mumbai one of the most densely populated cities in the world. I know that the poor in such countries do not own cars but I did not know how far they walked to work or how long their commute takes.

The primary interface between the UK’s planning system and the people and places it serves is a piece of A4 paper tied to a lamppost in the rain.
OK, not always rain. But rain often enough. The paper is a public notice describing a planning application for some kind of ‘development’ somewhere in the vicinity. If it’s a significant development, and very close to your property, you may also get a notification in the post. However, this bit of A4 paper, via the local council, is essentially the only attempt to communicate how a neighbourhood may be about to change. For something as fundamental as this—how your actual, physical neighbourhood may change—it seems little more than a token gesture. The paper notices are ubiquitous, tied at eye level in well-trafficked places. If one did notice the notice, you’d find language which is often alarmist (Camden lead with HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?

Location of Co-op City in the Bronx and New York City Coordinates: Co-op City sits along the Hutchinson River (2007) Physical detail[edit] Originally a swamp, the site was formerly the home of a 205-acre amusement park named Freedomland that operated from July 1960[2][3] to September 1964.[4] Construction on Co-op City began in May 1966.[5] Residents began moving in during December 1968,[6] and construction was completed in 1973.
Its 15,372 residential units, in 35 high rise buildings and seven clusters of townhouses, make it the largest single residential development in the United States.[7] It sits on 320 acres (1.3 km2) but only 20% of the land was developed, leaving many green spaces. Co-op City is divided into five sections. The development was built on landfill; the original marshland still surrounds it.
