Pune, located in Maharashtra, participates in the GEF-7 UrbanShift program to address rapid urban sprawl, congestion, and air pollution. The program supports the development of a compact, low-emission Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Station Area plan that promotes integrated mobility, green corridors, and electric vehicle infrastructure. By enhancing public transport accessibility and revitalizing urban green spaces, Pune aims to curb emissions and improve livability. Building on its reputation as one of India’s most livable cities, Pune’s UrbanShift initiatives demonstrate how spatial planning and clean transport can drive equitable and sustainable urban growth.
