Bengaluru (erstwhile Bangalore), the capital of Karnataka, has a history of over four hundred years, having been founded by Magadi Kempegowda in the year 1537 AD. With its strategic location as well as congenial climate, fertile land & adequate rainfall has grown steadily in its area.

The history of municipal governance of Bangalore dates back to 1862, when nine leading citizens of the city formed a Municipal Board under the Improvement of Towns Act of 1850. Later, a similar Municipal Board was also formed in the Cantonment area of the city. The two boards were legalised in 1881, and functioned as two independent bodies called the Bangalore City Municipality and the Bangalore Civil and Military Station Municipality.

Post-Independence, the two Municipal Boards were merged to form the Corporation of the City of Bangalore in 1949. In January 2007, the Karnataka Government issued a notification to merge 100 wards of the erstwhile Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BMP) with seven City Municipal Council (CMCs’), one Town Municipal Council (CMC) and 111 villages around the city to form a single administrative area and the body was renamed 'Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike' (BBMP) in 2007.

Here are three options put forward for consideration for area development.

Kindly post your views and preference on the options provided for Smart city Proposal preparation by 25th June, 2016.

footpaths should be free from any obstacles for free movements of citizens.
haphazard parking & reckless driving should be penalized.
all lakes should be developed as picnic spots as in London.
busiest roads should be identified and peak hours for all pvt vehicles.
all small scale industries should be shifted to industrial hubs identified with all modern facilities.
all main roads should be expanded for easy trafic moments.
drainages should be free from dumplings.

The areas considered for development(whitefield or e-city) are on the distant edges of the city. For the city to scale the public transport has to grow, as today it has reached to a state where its painful/costly to commute from one point to the other using the public transport.On a average working day it takes 2+ hours to go to Whitefield(20 km distance from my place) and in the past 3 years the BMTC fare has increased 25rs(from 50 to 75). Please upgrade the transport infrastructure of the city

Once upon a time Bangalore was a model city and used to boast that its infrastructure can very well take the needs for next fifteen years.So much so that Lee khan Yew of Singapore had made a visit to study the city.Thanks to phenomenal growth of population accompanied with exponential growth in motorized vehicles,coupled with inept city administrators and chief ministers, except Shri S. M.Krishna,who were more concerned with vote banks in moffusil villages and towns,it has lost its prestinglory

In Bangalore another major problem is that Auto and taxis, there is no system here to travel with dignity. If anybody asks auto he will calculate how much he will get in two way then only he will come to travel. No one will keep Meter by default, if passenger ask, auto people will try to threat common people. Top officials please keep compulsory regulation and monitor all Auto and taxies.

Bangalore city has grown from villages to retire people's place to Garment industry to Software firms to Heavenly Buildings in the past 20 years. In this period I was there here 14 years living with minimum needs. Now there is everywhere uncontrollable traffic in the city. There is no place to Walk and cycling. This is the way of city life?. Then what Govt officials are planning ahead and why fail to create common needs. Dust Collecting people also collecting money from every house this City??
