The event witnessed active participation from 30 officials representing 12 organisations across 9 cities (Pune, Surat, Chennai, Nagpur, Lucknow, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad). It also sought valuable feedback on the TOD Station Area Planning Guidelines, a key knowledge resource under the UrbanShift Country Project, being developed by UMTC. The Guidelines intend to demystify TOD, position it as a development tool to improve access to transit nodes, promote it as a regeneration strategy for brownfield areas, and provide flexibility for diverse urban contexts.

As the first in a series of capacity-building initiatives under the UrbanShift Country Project, the workshop empowered cities with sustainable development strategies and created opportunities for cross-learning, paving the way for a greener and more connected urban future.
