The project aims to deliver city scale action plans under transport and built environment for four smart cities.

It further focused to provide handholding support and build state level preparedness to cities for benefit of smart city program.

Several meetings have been held with prominent stakeholders in the city, to understand the issues related to mobility sector, and to discuss the next steps for the city.

Therefore, it was agreed that ICLEI South Asia will work on mobility issues in the city with a focus on core city areas, and finalised following few activities on which they would appreciate our support in:

1. Parking management plan for few roads and strategy document for the whole city.
2. Strategy document to reduce air pollution in the city.
