{Part 1/2} Bengaluru showed up at the Open House for GBA’s Landmark program - Revitalising Bengaluru’s Public Spaces! 🗳✨ 400+ attendees, 2 days, and one shared vision! The Open House was created as a platform to showcase the 150+ public spaces nominated by citizens for transformation and create alignment with the 5 Corporations and potential private funders.
​
The event was inaugurated by GBA Chief Commissioner, Maheshwar Rao. His message was clear: Bengaluru’s transformation depends on the collective energy of its citizens and the government. Officials from all five municipal corporations shared their expertise and met all the nominees of projects in their corporations. This event reinforced the value of local insights and knowledge in identifying high-impact opportunities for neighbourhood improvement.

Town Hall buzzed with intense dialogues across our three core pillars: Design, Fund, and Collaborate. We saw an overwhelming response from designers, architects, urban designers, academic institutions, and other technical experts, with over 80 sign-ups showing interest in extending their expertise to design the public spaces.

The participants also included representatives from Philanthropies, Companies with CSR grants, and builders. One thing is clear: there is a huge demand for a platform where ideas from the public can be continuously received to inform neighbourhood/city improvement projects.

Thank you to our partners Bengaluru Sustainability Forum and Sustainable Mobility Network (SMN) for supporting the event, and to everyone who joined us to make the event a sucess.

Do follow the updates on our website - https://www.blrpublicspace-revival.in/, as we now work towards the following:
1) Inclusion of budgets for public space improvement for 2026-27 in all corporations.
2) Identifying interim actions in the projects, such as clean-up drives or maintenance/repair works
3) Actively seeking public-private collaborations - If you are a Company with CSR funds/philanthropy who wants to support a project, do visit the website and tell us how GBA can enable this.
