The Seminar was attended by five Praja 1)Venu, 2)PSA, 3)Pathy, 4)Satya and 5)Pranav. A smart Agenda and Speaker Profiles were available along with a nice bag given to each of the delegates.

Most of the talk went overboard for me. The following were exceptions

1.      Mr. Suresh Heblikar,

2.      Dr. HS Sudhira, Indian Institute for Human settlements

3.      HL Shashidhara of Indian Urban space foundation.

Mr. Suresh Heblikar was conspicuous by his simple talk on how people living in near by villages are robed of their abodes and lively hood knowingly or unknowingly.  Such people and many others are facing the heat of developing so called ‘smart’ Cities.

Dr. HS Sudhindra was down to earth. One slide that attracted my particular attention was the last one where the disadvantage of a single huge city vs agglomeration of small, multiple [Satilite] towns surrounding the main city.

Mr. HL Shashidhara showed two real life examples of how to reclaim misused roads and put them into sanity. He was infact able to reclaim encroached land. This was in the CBD area of our city of Bangalore
