City Planner - Metroquest

I found an interesting tool on the cityfix.com on urban planning. You can plan the real city for 40 years.

Storm water drain in Bilekahalli

The BBMP has been constructing a storm water drain across the Ranka Colony road in Bilekahalli off the Bannerghatta Road. This project was started in 2008 and still there are no signs of this project getting completed in 2009. This drain is to carry the water flowing from J.P.Nagar area to the Bommanahalli lake without flooding the roads enroute.

The changing face of Bengalooru lakes over a 9 year period - a study

 The latest version of Google earth has introduced a new feature of viewing the earth at different periods of time, starting with the year 2000.
