About the project
Under Reform was a two-year project looking at transport reform in India from May 2018 to May 2020. Its aims were to develop cutting edge insights into how reforming transport governance works, and how best to generate more sustainable transport systems in Indian cities. In 2015 the Indian national government launched the Smart Cities Mission, aiming to reform transport governance more effectively than had been managed at individual city level. The project research analysed previous and planned reforms in four of India’s designated smart cities, considering their impact on the prosperity and quality of life of citizens. The intention was to move beyond simply identifying problems, rather developing an understanding of how to overcome them.
