With the vision of transforming Chennai, from a car-centric city to a people-friendly city, the Corporation of Chennai launched the Chennai Street Design Project in 2012. For the first time, the bus route roads of the city are designed as “complete streets,” taking into account all the street users as well as the varied activities taking place on them. These streets are designed with continuous and safe footpaths, safe cycle lanes (on selected streets), and organised on-street parking. The design integrates bus stops, street vending and all other street furniture, locating them carefully such that they do not hinder continuous walking experience of pedestrians.
This project aims to document the 'Chennai Street Design Project' by photographing the work implemented on all the completed streets (Phase 1) and preparing a comprehensive report of the project.
