A bald and brown Bengaluru

Once known as ‘garden city’, Bengaluru is fast turning bald, with its green cover declining at an alarming rate due to unplanned growth and the apathy of successive governments towards environmental issues. While the vegetation cover across the city is projected to reduce from 55% in 1973 to about 2.5% by 2025, the degeneration is more pronounced in Bengaluru South, where greenery has already shrunk to 2.66% from 55.17% in 1973. One of the worst impacted is Peenya Industrial Estate, where the built-up area has increased from 0.33% to 87.39%.
