India Streets

Heavy traffic on the way to sustainable cities and sustainable lives . . .

Dear Friends,

 

To kick off the New Year I have this morning taken an independent initiative
(i.e., without consulting my associate editors. Sorry.)  to upload to India
Streets what I propose we will call a "Dispatch" -- specifically a
particularly useful piece or article that has appeared in some interesting
place and which treats matters which are of interest to this great forum and
of course our slowly growing band of readers over at India Streets.  The
article in question was the Road to Nowhere Bangalore BRT piece which was
brought to our attention today by Vinay Baindur. You can find our posting at
http://indiastreets.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/is-dispatch-the-road-to-nowhere
-in-bangalore-2/.


Again the idea to see if we can give wider circulation within India and
beyond to articles, emails and other outstanding contributions covering from
different perspectives what the editors of I/S believe to be important
matters concerning India’s streets and well-being which are worthy of both
wider circulation and preservation. I/S also by nature of its open technical
format and good search engines tends to make it easier to store, call up and
access efficiently items which otherwise tend to be more ephemeral and to
get lost in the wave of all that is going on in the sector. We intend this
to be highly selective, and in each case will make an effort to be in touch
with the authors to have both their permission, and, where they wish, to
provide contact information on them so that our readers will know where to
go to follow up. 

 

I would be very grateful to have your views on this.  Our idea is by no
means to steal the thunder of others, to the contrary, but to provide a
handy platform for the further sharing of good work.

 

With all good wishes,

 

Eric
