    Mind the Gap – Can Mumbai's Metro Bridge the City's Traffic Woes?

    The Urban Agenda series by ULI India brings together thought leaders to explore pressing urban challenges and innovative solutions. After an engaging first edition on adaptive reuse and urban renewal, this time, we turn our focus to one of Mumbai’s most critical issues—traffic congestion.

    With the city’s metro network rapidly expanding, can this infrastructure revolution truly ease Mumbai’s transportation burden? How will it reshape daily commutes, urban development, and mobility patterns?

    Join us as Amit Tandon, Founder & Managing Director, IIAS, and Subodh Kumar Gupta, Director – Projects, Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited, share their insights on the metro’s potential to transform Mumbai’s transit landscape.
