From a year-long cultural calendar to creation of more theatre complexes, colour coding of public institutions and select streets, an international standard flower park, and a landmark watch tower for Bengaluru along the lines of Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty are amongst the ideas put forth by a 10-member committee. The committee prepared ‘Vibrant Bengaluru’, a report for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) under the larger ‘Brand Bengaluru’ initiative taken up by the State government.
Led by Jayaram Raipura, the nodal officer, the committee had a diverse demography of architects, social workers, theatre personalities, social workers, and other urban experts. The committee has listed an array of ideas broadly classified into nine areas.
