New Delhi’s urban landscape is set for transformation as NCRTC inks an MoU with SPA Delhi to supercharge Transit-Oriented Development around the Namo Bharat Corridor. This strategic alliance promises smarter, greener cities in the NCR.
The agreement was sealed in the presence of key leaders from both organizations, highlighting a shared commitment to innovative urban solutions. NCRTC’s focus on sustainable mobility dovetails perfectly with SPA’s cutting-edge expertise in architecture and planning, enabling comprehensive strategies for station-area development.
At its core, TOD encourages dense, multifunctional neighborhoods anchored by transit, creating walkable communities that prioritize people over cars. Expect improved pedestrian infrastructure, efficient last-mile options, and amenities that make public transport irresistible.
Beyond design, the partnership tackles financial sustainability through optimized land utilization and value-capture models, backed by data-driven investments. It supports the central government’s six-point TOD roadmap, from corridor selection to policy alignment, ensuring coordinated progress across agencies.
SPA Delhi steps up as the technical backbone, delivering in-depth research, mapping, consultations, and advisory inputs. This framework is scalable, ready to replicate success on upcoming Namo Bharat lines.
Namo Bharat, the nation’s first regional rapid transit system, links bustling corridors like Delhi to Meerut. Paired with TOD, it heralds an era of efficient travel and thriving urban ecosystems, reducing congestion and promoting equity in city expansion.
