PRAKRITI SETU PROGRAM
Vayambharati Foundation’s Urban Transformation initiative, Prakriti Setu, is designed to reconnect cities with nature while improving urban livability and resilience. The initiative focuses on developing green corridors, roadside plantations, median gardens, and community eco-parks that enhance city aesthetics, environmental health, and pedestrian safety. By creating shaded, well-designed walkways and green buffers, Prakriti Setu contributes to lowering urban heat, improving microclimates, and strengthening ecological balance. Implemented in collaboration with civic authorities and local communities, the program promotes the use of native, climate-resilient, and low-maintenance plant species.
It also encourages sustainable mobility practices, including low- to zero-emission transportation systems, and the development of community-managed eco-zones. Through integrated planning and community participation, Prakriti Setu aims to foster sustainable, inclusive, and people-centric urban environments.
Urban Safescape: We transform neglected and hazardous public spaces, streets, and roads into vibrant green corridors that serve as natural protective barriers. These interventions improve visibility, reduce traffic stress, enhance pedestrian and commuter safety, and prevent accidents through a carefully integrated approach combining ecological design, urban landscaping, and safety-driven planning principles.
Clean Transit: Promoting sustainable and low-emission mobility solutions in urban areas. The program focuses on reducing vehicular pollution by encouraging clean public transport, electric mobility, non-motorised transit, development of EV Charging Infra, and policy-supported adoption of environmentally responsible transportation systems, thereby improving air quality, public health, and overall urban livability.
Community Ecoscape: Working closely with civic authorities and local communities to revitalise public spaces by developing community-oriented eco-parks, median gardens, and restoring neglected water bodies, enhancing urban aesthetics, ecological balance, biodiversity, and public engagement.
