Taking Jaipur as the region of study, the research analyzes different factors like air quality, vehicular congestion, freight movement, public transport, first and last mile connectivity, structures of heritage importance, landmarks etc., in the walled city. With a focus on preserving the cultural heritage, and combating air pollution and vehicular congestion, this study aims to bring together transport planning and Low Emission Zones, to prioritize clean transportation and better quality of life in the walled city of Jaipur. As heritage cities require a different approach towards planning and conservation, the study combines the strengths of urban planning, policy, mobility, transport, accessibility, traffic management etc. to formulate a comprehensive conceptual plan for the walled city and to improve the air quality of the region.

Introduction and Methodology

Low Emission Zone - a mechanism that curbs air pollution by restricting vehicular movements and thus improving the quality of life in cities.

Problems associated with the site and implementing LEZ as a solution

Zoning of areas to restrict vehicular movement and encourage more walkable and accessible public spaces.

Proposing an efficient bus route to complement the zoning strategies

Accessible and frequent bus stops that are at walkable distances from every part of the walled city.

Approximate calculation of number and frequency of buses required for efficient functioning of the bus network.

Integrated Public Transport, encouraging better first and last mile connectivity.

Reducing parking spaces inside the walled city to encourage more use of public transport and NMT.

Policies based on vehicular restrictions with respect to different kinds of vehicles.
