The Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project was designed to complete another circle around Bengaluru city, linking up with the existing half circle called the NICE Road. Recently, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai pulled up the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) for the delay in going ahead with the project.
In this episode, DH Radio's Rasheed Kappan speaks to urban planning expert V Ravichandar on the much-delayed project, the lack of an area development plan associated with it, the merits of thinking far ahead into the future by taking a holistic approach, and not repeating the strip-development method adopted for the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
