This Urban Diagnostic for Bangalore is a review of existing and future risks and challenges that the city faces, particularly with respect to the growing threat of climate change. Informed by secondary data analysis, and input from key government stakeholders, the city diagnostic begins by laying out current risks, and vulnerabilities that Bangalore faces, as well as its potential capacity to address these issues. Drawing on individual engagements with government stakeholders, it identifies two key priority areas that present the greatest challenge for the city: water and energy systems. Focusing specifically on these two areas and targeting national and international funding sources, government stakeholders, policy makers, and non-profit organisations, it also identifies future scenarios and opportunities to help reduce vulnerability and increase adaptive capacity in Bangalore.
