Low Emission Zones

Heavy traffic and high population density increase emissions in urban areas. The UK's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) addresses air pollution, climate change, and traffic congestion by encouraging the use of newer, cleaner vehicles or public transportation. Could similar strategies be implemented in Indian cities? Share your thoughts!

Voices from the last mile- personal narratives of people living with hypertension in Tiruvannamalai

Author

We found that in Tiruvannamalai, poor public transportation facilities influence patient accessibility to Primary Health Centres. Many rely on public transport. Inaccessible sites might force patients to use private transportation, for at least part of the journey. Providing free medical treatment and medications while patients incur substantial transportation costs is counterproductive.

Developing sustainable cities is a core objective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many urban areas are adopting action plans, such as Low Emission Zones (LEZ). LEZs utilize environmental labels to signify a vehicle's emission levels. Vehicles that comply with the established standards are permitted to enter, while those that do not may face penalties. In this series, we will explore the advantages, case studies, and strategies for implementing LEZs in Chennai. #SafeCities #ResilientCities #SustainableCities
