CFAM Corner
OoruLabs podcast #21 | City’s future inscribed on a stone
Udaya Kumar PL walks us through how the contemporary city was before you knew it, all documented on stones. These inscription stones tell us everything from governance, language, finance, and science to astronomy. They can help enrich our understanding of how cities evolve, and our past and current trajectory.
Sustainable Mobility Network Map - Bengaluru
CFAM has initiated the development of the Sustainable Mobility Network Map, which aims to establish a comprehensive network of bicycle-friendly and secondary routes in Bengaluru. This network comprises segments ranging from low to high congestion levels, each of which can be filtered and accessed as per requirements. Currently, the map encompasses over 120 networks across Bangalore, thanks to the collaborative efforts of CFAM Employees, Councillors, and Volunteers who have contributed substantial data.
