Towards a Unifying Approach to City Sustainability on the Changing Expression of Urbanisation in Bengaluru
On the path of accelerated urbanisation, India contains four of the world’s ten largest cities Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Bengaluru is prominent among the world’s fastest growing cities that have attracted abound of the population, capital, and investments with robust connectivity. As a result, the pressure of the metropolis has swept over its carrying capacity, thereby affecting the resources, infrastructure, ecological diversity and land therein. Various ‘cities’ related multifaceted categories such as ‘sustainable cities’, ‘smart cities’, ‘digital cities’, ‘resilient cities’, ‘low carbon cities’, ‘eco cities’, and ‘liveable cities’ are into discourse which are still framing the distinctive character of cities which would have impression on the theoretical understanding and on the policymaking. This raises an issue of sustainability and quality of life for its citizens now and for future as well, under which, Bengaluru has to make key decisions on land use, sprawling peripheries, infrastructure, transport, and energy. This demands for a careful and rational provision of planning keeping in mind the issue of imbalance without forsaking the pre-requisite of the regions. The following research makes an attempt to analyse the urban environment; an emphasis on the associations of distributed aspects of urban growth, their relation and the resultant influences taking the study area of Bengaluru of Karnataka state. The outgrowth of centre towards periphery is gaining importance wherein the spatial as well as temporal changes in urbanisation helps in witnessing the prevalent land use changes provide insight of rate, extent, and direction of sprawl.
