An architect, urbanist, and entrepreneur by profession, our next guest attempted to do what very few people dare - plan and execute a vision for Bengaluru’s redevelopment.
Drumroll please. Welcome our latest guest on the FCTC couch - Naresh Narasimhan!
In this episode, Naresh Narasimhan deep dives into how Church Street’s TenderS.U.R.E project paved the way for new ways through which the city’s development could be imagined, while also commenting on the improvement in citizen participation in policy over recent years.
Watch Naresh outline the interconnected nature of Bengaluru’s pain points - poor infrastructure, high vehicle to people ratio, lack of urban planning and encroachment of the city’s stormwater canals, and what system level changes are required to implement world class urban design.
What makes or breaks Indian cities? Is there a need to integrate policy with practice more than ever in the 21st century? Where does Bengaluru lead and lag across developmental sectors? Naresh answers these questions and more, only in FCTC’s second episode.
Oh, and did we tell you about the bit where Naresh is also an actor? Find out more about his unconventional, but very cool career trajectory in this unmissable episode.
