Client: Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation
Done as part of a team when I was working with Integrated Design (a Bangalore-based practice that works at the intersection of environmental management and regional planning) thus project was undertaken as part of the World Bank-Cities Alliance-National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), Technical Assistance for inclusive revitalisation of historic cities in India. It aimed at supporting the Government of Karnataka in integrated heritage-based urban revitalisation through strategic planning.
The outcomes of the Technical Assistance were two-fold: first, to evolve strategies to achieve economic development in the historic areas, cities and regions in Karnataka. And second, to propose a multi-scalar and multi-stakeholder institutional and organisational framework towards enhancing the state’s capacities and methodologies for planning, coordination, outreach and implementation of the strategies. Vijayapura, Badami, Aihole, Pattadakal (V-BAP) in the Belagavi division of the state of Karnataka was the pilot region for the proposed strategy.
