Setty Pendakur (born February 11, 1934) is a Canadian engineer with a focus on studying transportation and urban mobility issues. He was the first member of south asian descent on the Vancouver City Council. Pendakur was a member of mayor Art Phillips's municipal party The Electors' Action Movement (TEAM) formed in 1968. As a member of TEAM some of his contributions included the Stanley Park seawall development, development of the waterfront plan with pathways from False Creek to the beaches on the west side of the city, and institutionalization of community consultation processes. TEAM had also opposed a proposal for a freeway through downtown Vancouver, a move that has been noted to have contributed to the city's liveability and pedestrian friendly development.
