Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited has engaged World Resources Institute (WRI India) as its technical advisors for Phase 2A and Phase 2B for multimodal integration (MMI) and transit-oriented development (TOD) along the two metro corridors.
A statement by BMRCL stated, “The initiative seeks to bridge Bengaluru’s disconnect between mass transit infrastructure and unprecedented growth. TOD will help redirect growth along its rail transit corridor enabling walkable and connected neighborhoods. MMI compliments this effort by providing a seamless and accessible urban transportation system that includes private as well as public modes of transit. Together, TOD and MMI aim to enhance accessibility and livability, making the city resource-efficient and reducing carbon footprints in the process.”
WRI India is a global research organization focusing on building sustainable, liveable cities and working towards a low-carbon economy. WRI India will offer ADB technical advisory support.
