Environmental sustainability is closely linked to urban
planning, yet the various stakeholders such as environmentalists, policy makers
and corporate leaders haven’t made a significant impact in this area. To make
people aware of the key issues in this area, organizations such as the Indian Institute of Human Settlements (IIHS) conduct
short term courses such as this one: http://www.skillkindle.com/guestuser_classdetails_preevent.aspx?classID=33 This should help the issues gain prominence.

LOS is crap! If they want to use it, then they should consider the level of service for all users! Not just people in automobiles, but those on bikes, feet, and other modes of transit.

If anything, they should move towards car free districts and city-wide car free days.

Honestly, I can’t imagine how that fence can be a playground but I find it so interesting. I love the way the grills are being used. Playground fence must be wide enough to insure the safety of the kids in there playing.
