ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Beginning 2nd March 2016, we bring to you our all-new webinar series called Live! on the Hub, where you can
watch our webinars via webcast on The Hub.
The first webinar of the
Live! on the Hub series is inspired by the rapidly expanding Car-Free Day movement in Gurgaon and Karnal, following the success of
Raahgiri
Day in these cities.
The Story:
In order to promote sustainable modes of commuting on a regular basis, Gurgaon
Police and the Gurgaon
Administration, in partnership with the NASSCOM
regional council and WRI India Sustainable Cities, with support from various businesses and media organizations started
Car-Free Day in
Gurgaon. Car-Free Day Gurgaon
was launched with the request that people voluntarily give up their cars every Tuesday, and instead, use alternate modes of commuting. Despite a number of concerns regarding the outcome, various city administrations have supported the initiative and, gradually
made it into a success story .
The Objective:
In this webinar, our panelists will discuss key factors that contributed to the success of Car-Free Days, challenges that the core team
had to overcome while preparing for its launch, and the on-ground impact that has been observed. This will an opportunity for other cities to learn and raise questions to the panellists regarding initiating Car-Free Days in their neighbourhoods.
You can send us your questions for the panelists at least 3 hours prior to the webinar via e-mail to Snehil Sinha at
Snehil...@wri.org and
Kanika Jindal at Kanika...@wri.org
