Yesterday, French Planner and Mobility expert M. Jean Grebert held a workshop at Utsari Glass Hall at Eco Park with NKDA, Hidco, UD and Transport Officers. He advocated the cause of ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) Mobility Systems as a pivot for sustainability, He talked of an emerging concept of Macauto World Solution for Green Mobility using stacked sharable electric vehicles at strategic locations.
He appreciated the use of e-Rickshaws in New Town. He termed planning of New Town to be "human" unlike some other new towns of India where the citizen is ignored by using extra-wide 100 m roads. He advised that New Town could do well by having satellite transport nodes at airports, railway stations and other nodes of Kolkata so that people can come in quickly.
