know that Hyderabad has already planned and implemented a variety of
measures to reduce air pollution and is on its way to evolve the next
generation policy measures. This dialogue forum will help to capture the
learning in our cities, and help to evolve strategies for policy action.

policy makers from the city, experts, civil society groups and industry
representatives who are involved with city governance, air pollution and
transportation policies. This will also be an opportunity to share our
experiences and lessons from Delhi and other cities as well.

concerns and look at a range of strategies for air quality management;
public health protection; and the challenges of public transport and
congestion reduction strategies. Solutions can emerge from deeper
understanding of our mutual concerns, the diversity of issues, and,
implementation challenges in our cities.
