One of the most common refrains that you’ll hear about Bengaluru, is that its future is uncertain. It’s the doomsday scenario: the city is going to run out of natural resources, and it’ll be the beginning of its decline. It’s pretty dystopian. But if you live in Bengaluru, and you’ve met and interacted with its citizens, you know that it’s not as simple as it’s made out to be. In this final episode of Ooru, we’re asking, what’s the future looking like? Listen to answers from a lawyer, an environmental activist, a water expert and a group of young citizen activists trying to measure just how polluted the air we breath is. Is it all doom and gloom? Or is there a ray of hope to look forward to? Listen to the final episode of Ooru to find out! Ooru is brought to you by the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum and Vaaka Media.

For many, Bengaluru is a city of dreams, drawing people from across the country who are in search of better jobs and a better life. But what’s the reality of a worker in this city? Is Bengaluru really a good place to work in? Who is it good for? What does good even look like? Easy and safe commutes? Affordable housing? Progressive urban employment schemes? We search for answers through conversations with political activists, senior IAS officers, the head of an ecological restoration foundation and the youth of this city. We also try to look into the future to find out what the city’s working population will have to contend with then. Ooru is brought to you by the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum and Vaaka Media.

Bengaluru once prided itself on being the Garden City, but with more green covers sacrificed for chrome and glass buildings and steel flyovers, how much of the outdoors is left for citizens to enjoy? Despite an active citizenry and comparatively high civic participation, there are challenges in bringing about widespread change. We hear from people who have worked to nurture an interest in the city’s biodiversity, make the city’s parks more accessible, get citizens to spend more time outdoors, and improve accessibility to public space for recreation and play as we ask ‘Do we need to change our relationship with the outdoors?’ Ooru is brought to you by the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum and Vaaka Media.
