As Bengaluru grapples with growing traffic congestion, large infrastructure projects are increasingly being proposed as solutions to the city’s mobility challenges. But can bigger infrastructure alone solve the problem? And what happens to the environment, public spaces, long-term mobility planning and citizen participation along the way?
The proposed Hebbal Short Tunnel Project has sparked important questions about how Bengaluru plans and builds its infrastructure. What are the project’s proposed benefits? What is its current status? What are the environmental and legal concerns surrounding it? And are there alternative mobility solutions that could address congestion more sustainably?
Join us for a conversation on the Hebbal Short Tunnel Project as we explore these questions and look beyond the project itself—to the larger question of how Bengaluru should plan its future infrastructure.
The discussion will also examine the role citizens can play in understanding, questioning and shaping the infrastructure decisions that affect the city and its neighbourhoods.
