We are honoured to share that our Principal Architect was selected to present “ Harit Setu: Delivering India’s First 15-Minute Neighbourhood through Active Mobility Infrastructure and Citizen Engagement ” at the Velo-city Conference 2026 in Rimini, Italy. 🇮🇹🚲 representing Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation and BYCS at one of the world’s leading cycling summits.

Centered around the theme “Delivering the Urban Dream,” the conference brought together global perspectives on shaping the future of rapidly growing cities.

Over the last decade, PCMC has undertaken several initiatives to transform the city's mobility landscape. These efforts reflect a strategic shift from vehicle-oriented planning towards people-centric urban mobility that prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users.

At Velo-city 2026, he had the opportunity to share insights from India's urban mobility journey, including:
🚲 Creating streets that put people before vehicles.
🌱 Building a culture of cycling beyond recreation and sport.
👨‍👩‍👧 Designing safer environments for children and families.
🏙️ Scaling sustainable mobility in rapidly urbanizing cities.
🤝 Strengthening partnerships between governments, communities, and civil society.

We look forward to such opportunities to exchange knowledge, learn from global best practices, and contribute to advancing healthier, more liveable, and people-centric cities.

🚲 Urban Governance in Active Mobility | Panel Discussion

How do cities actually make cycling work? It starts with governance.

This panel brings together Municipal Commissioners and officials from cities like Pimpri-Chinchwad and Ulhasnagar to unpack the realities of implementing active mobility on the ground.

With a global lens from the former Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam, the discussion will explore how strong governance frameworks can transform mobility systems.

💬 What we’ll dive into:
• Urban Governance & decision-making
• Financing and budgeting for active mobility
• Managing cities for people-first streets
• Innovation in planning and implementation

Because building cycling cities isn’t just about design — it’s about how cities are governed, funded, and managed.
