From Policy to Platforms: Delivering Clean Air and Inclusive Urban Mobility in Delhi-NCR and beyond

​This session will examine how urban mobility innovation and air quality management must operate as an integrated system.

​Delhi- NCR is at a crucial moment in its journey toward cleaner air and better mobility. With rising EV adoption, shared transport, and digital mobility tools, alongside persistent air quality challenges, the region is becoming a real-world testbed for how cities can move people more cleanly and efficiently.

​This session brings together voices from government, industry, utilities, and research to explore a simple but important question: how do policy, technology, and governance actually work together on the ground? From AI-enabled traffic management and EV infrastructure to mobility data platforms and inclusive design, we’ll look at what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.

​The discussion will focus on practical solutions that improve air quality while making urban mobility safer, more accessible, and more affordable, especially for women, gig workers, and low-income commuters. Lessons from Delhi-NCR will offer ideas cities across India and the Global South can learn from.

​Who should attend: Urban leaders, mobility and climate practitioners, startups, investors, and anyone interested in building cleaner, people-first cities.
