Capsule II for Gujarat

The capsule was designed in consultation with GUDM, considering the feedback provided by participants at the Orientation Capsule held in June, 2016. The capsule was aimed at helping participants intensively explore subjects related to urban mobility and planning – non-motorized transport, city bus systems, and transit oriented development – in the context of the cities of Gujarat. The training methodology consisted of a series of interactive sessions underpinned by expert led lectures, facilitated discussions, specially designed group activities, and guided exposure visits.

The capsule was led by a faculty of seven experts and two supporting members from WRI India, with extensive practical experience. They led a cohort of 28 participants representing 21 cities from the state through public offices like Municipal Corporations and Town and Country Planning Departments. Mr. J B Patel, Deputy CEO, GUDM, attended the capsule’s last day as chief guest.
