Don’t make ‘cities for cars’ like U.S. did, warns Amitabh Kant

Former Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has warned India against developing cities for cars like the US. Kant, who is now the G20 Sherpa, said that India should focus on developing cities for people, with a focus on walkability and public transportation. He said that the US made the mistake of building cities for cars, and that this has led to a number of problems, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and lack of affordable housing. Kant said that India should learn from the US's mistakes and develop cities that are more sustainable and livable. He said that this would require a focus on compact and walkable development, as well as investment in public transportation.#amitabhkant #g20 #india #unitedstates https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzjPDNc5ZgsA9Qgg9ZwBMLMdrtNRGZ-Wd Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatuFor daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of IndiaFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/TimesofIndiaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/timesofindia/Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysisFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/timesofindiaplusTwitter:https://twitter.com/TOIPlusInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/toi_plus/
