Swami Vivekananda (SV) Road is one of Mumbai’s most crucial arterial roads, stretching 23.6 km and directly serving 13 railway stations. As a key transit corridor lined with high-density mixed-use developments, educational institutions, hospitals, and commercial hubs, it is a daily necessity for thousands of people. Yet, pedestrians often struggle with narrow footpaths, confusing intersections, and inadequate crossings. These conditions compromise safety and create congestion. Its centrality and heavy pedestrian use make SV Road a focal point for demonstrating how infrastructure can be reimagined to better serve both people and the city.
Walking Project has been consistently working through an ongoing initiative to transform SV Road into a safer, more convenient, and pedestrian-friendly corridor. This effort goes beyond proposals extensive groundwork has already been undertaken, including continuous data collection, on-ground assessments, and direct engagement with local communities. The project involves close collaboration with urban practitioners and government officials to ensure long-term, sustainable improvements. By steadily building a benchmark model that prioritizes pedestrian convenience, safety, and accessibility, Walking Project aims to create an inspiring precedent for similar urban interventions across Mumbai and beyond.
