FAQ

What is the Walking Project?

Walking Project is a citizen-led initiative working to make Mumbai’s footpaths more walkable, safe, and accessible for everyone. From auditing footpaths to working with civic authorities, we’re on a mission to fix broken streets, create awareness, and put pedestrians back at the heart of city planning in a systemic way. We are registered under the Mumbai Sustainability Centre, a Section 8 non-profit.
