In certain zones of Jaipur Municipal Corporation, there are no slums, while others have more than 75 per cent of the population residing in them (Jawaid et al 2017). Overall, approximately 10.62 per cent of the population of the city lives in them (Census of India 2011).…”

Employing primary survey data collected from Jaipur city in India, this work attempts to evaluate inconsistencies in travel behaviour based on gender. It also intends to discuss the public opinion on a few proposed policy changes which can aid in bridging the established gender gap. Stratified random sampling approach is used to gather data on travel pattern measures and socioeconomic attributes. Descriptive statistics complemented with bivariate probit model and seemingly unrelated bivariate probit model is applied on the data acquired. The obtained results confirm the existence of a gender gap in all observed measures of travel behaviour. Compared to men, women travel shorter distances, use more of non‐motorised modes of transport, have lower frequency of travelling, and travel majorly for purposes other than work. Results of the study also highlight how a majority of the respondents are in favour of policy changes aimed at narrowing the observed gender disparities. The analysis demands infrastructural development of non‐motorised transportation and public transportation in the city in such a way which is both efficient and secured, so as to neither obstruct the objective of empowerment nor of sustainability.

“…As highlighted by Jawaid et al (2017) the city authorities have found it difficult to harmonize the development intensity of the urban area with time, which now shows an impact on its resource management. High population growth coupled with increasing urban housing demand arising due to in-migration besides other factors has led to haphazard expansion of the city, encroachment of water bodies and catchment areas etc (Jawaid, Pipralia and Kumar 2018).…”

Mobility is one of the most inherent characteristics of human living. But with increasing population and ever increasing need to commute, the proportion of vehicles plying on roads is repeatedly challenging the capacity of the roads to sustain efficient traffic flow. The paper discusses a novel approach to define road widths to sustain the traffic speeds, with an example of residential areas in Jaipur city of India. The study involves a survey based methodology to assess the existing condition of roads in case study area, highlighting the issues responsible for a reduced carrying capacity, namely extension of ramps outside the plot line reducing carriage widths, car-ownership beyond the parking provisions in the plot, etc. Based on this, some recommendations based on the minimum road widths supporting residential areas and policy based provisions are suggested which are expected to reduce the existing traffic woes.

“…Cities are continuously identified for inclusion in smart city programs, often due to tourist and economic potential such as Jaipur. In this regard, the heritage preservation of the city is embedded within the programs for creating smart cities (Jawaid et al, 2017). Specific aspects of the program such as master-planning are endorsed by the regional and local authorities and used for heritage and resource management and environment (Ghadei 2018).…”
