Manifesto

Welcome to the Walking Project, a movement committed to making Mumbai more walkable, livable, and inclusive. In a city where walking forms a part of most daily journeys, pedestrians continue to face serious challenges due to inadequate and poorly maintained infrastructure. As the 2026 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections approach, it is time to demand better streets and safer walking conditions from those seeking to govern our city.

Our Pedestrian Manifesto presents practical, implementable solutions to improve walkability, safety, and quality of life for lakhs of Mumbaikars. From better-designed footpaths and safer streets near transit hubs to clearer management of hawking and on-street parking, these recommendations can significantly improve everyday mobility.

Join us in calling for pedestrian-friendly reforms to be placed at the centre of the municipal agenda. Let’s ensure that walking, the most common way Mumbaikars move, finally receives the priority it deserves.
