Summary:
Urban planning discussions in Delhi highlighted the critical neglect of pedestrian safety. Despite pedestrians constituting 75–80% of all road fatalities, infrastructure such as clear footpaths, zebra crossings, and traffic signals remain poorly maintained or non-existent.
Key Concern: Pedestrian-first planning is absent despite high vulnerability.
