The Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) chairman met with Naveed Iftikhar, a well-known urban policy specialist. The conference was held in light of CDA management’s intention to investigate further solutions for making Islamabad more pedestrian-friendly.
Dr. Iftikhar stressed the importance of enhanced signage and awareness efforts, as well as the evaluation of pedestrian needs, during the discussion.
He offered to assist the CDA in the design and advocacy of pedestrian and environmental programmes. It was noted during the meeting that the Capital Development Authority, which has already decided to finish walkways around Islamabad, will eventually establish a pedestrian map for citizens.
Paid parking will be implemented in conjunction with the introduction of buses, which is anticipated for the end of March.
Such an interchange of ideas, according to the chairman, is necessary for the Capital Development Authority to formulate public-sensitive policies.
