Headed a session with @Official_DDA on the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Framework to bolster the objective of building "Walk-to-Work" neighbourhoods throughout Delhi.
Led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji's objective for a #ViksitBharat, this evolving framework will reimagine Delhi's city scenery and horizon. By fostering high-volume, varied-use building near Metro and RRTS hubs, we seek to lower traffic, enhance city movement, and grow entry to cheap shelter.
