The Outer, Middle and Inner Circles of Connaught Place were audited along with the radials upto a small distance.   Rajiv Chowk metro station is located in the heart of Delhi – Connaught Place. It is an interchange station of Yellow Line and Blue Line. The metro entry/exit are located on the Inner Circle. Both the Outer and Inner Circles have shops and restaurants which ensure activity even at night. The Middle Circle was earlier mainly a service road comprising offices and banks but is now transforming with many cafes and eateries opening along with it.   Safety Audits indicate that the area around the metro station is safe. Except for gender usage, most parameters have been uniformly rated Average and Above Average. Lighting, Openness, Walkpath and Public Transport have been rated above average. Visibility, Crowd, Security and Feeling has been rated average. Gender Usage has been rated below average. Improving parameters of Visibility, Security, Lighting, and Walkpath will make the area even safer for women to use at night.   Download Full Report in PDF Click Here

The Cities for Children Report is an in-depth analysis of the conditions of safety in the Sunder Nagar Nursery (SNN) an urban slum community in New Delhi. The report has been co-created by the youth leaders of the community who are part of the Blending Spectrum programme in collaboration with Safetipin a mobile app that collects safety data for the purpose of advocacy globally. It is an insight into the safety lacunae that exist in SNN and urban slums around the world. It is an effort to bring the missing lens of children and youth to urban safety in the context of the larger debates on urbanisation and the rights to children to the cities of the world. The report contains large-scale data analysis of safety audits, recommendations of change, and the communities interaction with government stakeholders like the Delhi Police, The Municipal Corporation and Delhi Government’s elected representative through Open Safety Audit Mapping exercise. It connects these to daily concerns of young people and children, especially girls about safety in the limited access they are able to gain to public spaces. Article Source...... The Yp Foundation

Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and the principal city of Dhaka District and Dhaka Division. Dhaka is one of world's most populated cities, which in combination with localities forming the wider metropolitan area, is home to over 15 million as of 2013. The population is growing by an estimated 4.2% per year, one of the highest rates amongst the Asian cities. According to the Far Eastern Economic Review, Dhaka will be home to 25 million people by the end of 2025. Dhaka is located in central Bangladesh on the eastern banks of the Buriganga River. The city lies on the lower reaches of the Ganges Delta and covers a total area of 300 square kilometres (120 sq mi). The city's name was Jahangir Nagar (City of Jahangir) in the 17th century. It was the Mughal capital of Bengal for 75 years; and flourished in trade and culture as a cosmopolitan commercial capital and the hub of the worldwide muslin and silk trade. In 1793, Dhaka was ceded to the British East India Company. British Dacca developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with the establishment of railways, jute trading and various educational and cultural institutions. It was the capital of British Eastern Bengal and Assam between 1905 and 1912. After the Partition of British India in 1947, Dhaka became the administrative capital of East Pakistan. The post-independence period witnessed rapid growth as Dhaka attracted migrant workers from across rural Bangladesh. In the 1990s and 2000s, Dhaka saw improved economic growth and the emergence of affluent business districts and satellite towns.

The post-independence period witnessed rapid growth as Dhaka attracted migrant workers from across rural Bangladesh. In the 1990s and 2000s, Dhaka saw improved economic growth and the emergence of affluent business districts and satellite towns. Modern Dhaka is one of Bangladesh's twin economic centers, along with Chittagong, to which it is connected by the Grand Trunk Road and the Bangladesh Railway. The city was the 2012 ISESCO Asian Capital of Culture. It is served by Shahjalal International Airport. For much of recent history, Dhaka was characterized by roadside markets and small shops that sold a wide variety of goods. Recent years have seen the widespread construction of shopping malls, multiplexes, hotels and restaurants attracting Dhaka's growing middle class and wealthy residents. As the most densely populated and one of the fastest growing megacities in the world, it faces many challenges common to a developing world metropolis, including traffic congestion, crime, urban pollution and poverty.

Safetipin has been conducting audits to assess the safety of the city of Delhi since August 2013. This report is based on the safety audits done from June 2015 for 17 metro stations of the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro. These stations were selected on the basis of their footfall and further connectivity options. The study reveals the shortfalls of the public transportation system of Delhi and suggests recommendations to better integrate the Metro with other modes of travel. The audits were carried out using the SafetiPin App. SafetiPin, is a map-based mobile phone application, which works to make communities and cities safer by providing safetyrelated information collected by users and by trained auditors. At the core of the app is the Women’s Safety Audit. A Women’s Safety Audit (WSA) is a participatory tool for collecting and assessing information about perceptions of urban safety in public spaces. The audit is based on nine parameters – Lighting, Openness, Visibility, Crowd, Security, Walkpath, Availability of Public Transport, Gender Usage of Public Spaces and Feeling. An area of approximately 500m radius around each metro station has been studied to assess the safety and improve the last mile connectivity for the passengers, focusing on female commuters. The audits were done in the evening hours of 5pm-10pm for the 17 metro stations, to evaluate the level of safety and identify ways to improve it. RECOMMENDATIONS • Integrated Para-transit. Stands for Autos/cycle rickshaw need to be created at regular intervals for people to be able to reach the metro stations comfortably. The location needs to be decided on the basis of entry/exits of Office/ Residential Societies, Markets etc. The Bus connectivity to the areas along the Metro needs to be improved, ensuring proper Bus Stops along the routes they ply on. Auto Stands should be located along these. A bicycle-rental system can be introduced atleast for an area of 1-2km radius around the metro station. Also, convenience facilities like Public Toilets, Drinking Water etc. need to be provided with these Stands. • Create Zones for Hawkers. The edge of the metro stations particularly the entry/exit points have many vendors selling snacks/tea etc. However, as one moves away the area starts to get secluded. Creating Hawker’s Zones along the most preferred route will assist in meeting one’s daily needs too. • Create Active Interfaces. The buildings along the main road currently have boundary walls. These need to be taken down. The plot edge can be defined even while creating an active interface with the Footpaths. This will increase the visibility and make the pedestrians feel safe. • Increase Lighting Levels. Lighting has been rated Average in most parts. However, there is a need to have the area brightly lit. Currently, the street lights are located on the central median only along many roads. Also, regular pruning of trees is veryimportant as these obstruct light. • Proper Footpaths. Walk paths have been rated Above Average in most areas. However, they need to be maintained well. Also, it is important to check their elevation from the road level. In many areas, while the footpaths are properly paved, they are being used for vehicular parking forcing people to walk on the vehicular carriageway. Designated Parking Zones need to be established to prevent this. • Increase Police Patrolling. The main roads are well covered by the PCR Vans/Bikes. However, the routes that are preferred by pedestrians (usually the shortest routes) also need to have police patrolling or CCTV surveillance. • Parking Zones within Station Premises. The Parking Area within the Metro Station premises also needs to be looked at in detail to ensure space is brightly lit throughout and Visibility is high. These spaces are currently ideal spots violence against women. Download Full Report in PDF Click Here
