How can the world's busiest streets act as destinations as well as thoroughfares?

As in many Indian cities, the streets of Ahmedabad are its most vital public spaces, supported by mixed land uses and informal street activity. When the city implemented a bus rapid transit system in 2009, at first it benefited the bazaar and informal street life of one of the city's prime arterials, but after a road widening, conditions became dangerous.

Join Abhijit Lokre, who led the design team for Ahmedabad's BRT system, along with his team from The Urban Lab to explore the conflicts between city planning, design, traffic engineering, and the life of our streets.
