ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 1/2/3: urban planning and infrastructure. Rapid peri-urban growth outpaces city-limited planning; a notified regional road grid under BMRDA, in line with the Metropolitan Planning Committee idea of the 74th Amendment, can guide land use, transport and connectivity. Implication: better coordination among BMRDA, BDA, BBMP and local bodies, with the way forward being integrated land-use and transit planning, land-acquisition clarity and funding.
