Thank you to Authority Magazine and Dina Costandina Aletra for taking the time to chat through my passion for healthy complete communities and healthy built environments! It's perhaps no secret that before the COVID-19 pandemic, my professional interest and portfolio was focused in environmental health and chronic disease prevention. As an avid transit and active transport commuter, a former SimCity geek, and a keen lover of all things urban, my longtime work on healthy built environments has brought both personal and professional fulfilment. It's why we live in the neighbourhood we do, and what drives my commitment to walking the talk (including days where I 'run errands' - more on that in a future post!) My interview with Dina highlights investments that cities can make that pay dividends both now and in the long run. Those include: 1. Invest in greater public transit and active transport modalities. Getting folks out of cars is the fastest way to put time and money back into pockets, improve physical and mental wellbeing, reduce injuries and driving under the influence, and improve air quality and support climate action. 2. Promoting densification and increasing mixed uses. Bringing services closer to home makes it easier to get to work and also get things done, saving time for stuff that matters and developing community cohesiveness and resilience. 3. Retrofitting old developments towards new planning paradigms. We can make better us of present footprint to drive improvements to overall outcomes around urban living and health, rather than continuing to sprawl beyond our means. 4. Investing in community places and spaces. Opening up common spaces, especially those that haven't usually been accessible, can provide opportunity for physical activity and connection beyond one's own pied-a-terre. 5. Addressing inequities and disparities. Targeting resources to neighbourhoods that are grappling with the outcomes of chronic underinvestment should aim to address immediate challenges while supporting longer-term improvements in wellbeing, resilience and cohesion. Most important in the interview, though, is what I've said about timing. Our current auto-dependent development model has resulted in our present challenges over decades. To reverse things, we need to start now to make up for lost time. There's a lot to be excited about in the urban health space, and I stay interested in seeing what exciting learnings will emerge over the years to come, even as I share what lessons I can from the Greater Toronto Area. In the meantime, happy to collaborate on this platforms, at panels, or otherwise. Please do reach out!

Pedaling Forward: Addressing Challenges in Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) Systems in Indian Cities I was honored to participate in a recent webinar organized by TUL Foundation on December 20, 2024, titled "Pedaling Forward: Unpacking the Challenges of Public Bicycle Sharing in Indian Cities." The discussion shed light on critical hurdles and innovative solutions for PBS systems in India. Challenges Highlighted: 🔺 Lack of Long-Term Vision: Current PBS systems lack integration into city development plans, land use, and zoning. 🔺 Implementation in Silos: There's a need to align PBS with city master plans and NMT (Non-Motorized Transport) strategies. 🔺 Financial Struggles: Inefficient business models struggle with CAPEX and OPEX, hindering economic sustainability. 🔺 Design Deficiencies: Street and junction designs fail to prioritize NMT modes, compromising safety. Proposed Solutions: 💡 Decentralized Operations: Diversify providers beyond major players like Yulu or Charter by establishing PBS stations in residential neighborhoods and introducing postpaid payment models. 💡 Fiscal Mobilization: Secure initial funding through models like the Gross Cost Model (GCM), leveraging financial institutions and government support to ensure long-term sustainability. 💡 Cross-Subsidization: Make PBS systems accessible and affordable through cross-subsidies, sponsorships, and strict adherence to revenue generation from ridership. 💡 Multimodal Integration: Promote PBS as part of multimodal hubs, integrating it with metro systems, IPT, and BRT using unified payment systems like metro cards or tokens. Additionally, the discourse emphasized the urgent need for safer street and junction designs, ensuring holistic and inclusive urban mobility solutions. This insightful discussion, moderated by Prof. Abhijit Lokre (Founder, TUL Foundation), featured distinguished panelists like Prof. Dana Yanocha, Prof. Laghu Parashar, PhD, Prof. Gautam Patel, and Mr. Arjit Soni (Founder, MYBYK). Their shared expertise and perspectives provided invaluable guidance for transforming Indian cities into more sustainable and bicycle-friendly urban environments. I am immensely grateful to the TUL Foundation for this opportunity and to the panelists for their enriching contributions. Together, let’s pedal towards a decarbonized future! #TUL #TheUrbanLabFoundation #PBS #NMT #IPT #BRT #Businessmodel #FinancialInterventions #SaferStreet #Pedestrianisation #DeCarbonization #UrbanDesign #UrbanPlanning
