01 Oct 2026 Editorial Team
Pune Municipal
Corporation plans to
develop at least one
smart-design road in
every village merged
with the civic body,
based on the Aundh DP
Road redevelopment
model. The Aundh
project, developed
under the Smart Cities Mission, includes continuous footpaths,
pedestrian crossings, cycling infrastructure, organised parking and
underground utility provisions. Recognised by the Indian Roads
Congress, the model will guide future road redevelopment with a
focus on accessibility, durability, better planning and improved
urban mobility across merged village areas.
