As Bengaluru continues to expand, apartment communities are grappling with governance challenges that threaten their sustainability.
Unplanned Urban Expansion
Rapid and unplanned urban expansion has led to the encroachment of stormwater drains and the construction of buildings without adherence to building bylaws. These practices have exacerbated flooding and safety concerns.
Pressure on Infrastructure
The rapid influx of residents into apartment complexes has placed immense pressure on existing infrastructure, including water supply, sewage systems, and waste management. Residents have reported frequent disruptions in these services.
Need for Collaborative Governance
Experts emphasize the need for collaborative governance involving residents, developers, and municipal authorities. Such collaboration can lead to more effective management of resources and better urban planning to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization.
