The new investment if guided by the principles of sustainability can make a lot of difference. The question that India needs to ask is whether it will be able to see the turn around soon in its cities.

The main objective of walkability surveys is to benchmark cities against different walkability parameters and to inform policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders on the results to enable them to improve walkability.
