Study Area

Greater Bangalore (77°37’19.54’’ E and 12°59’09.76’’ N), is the principal administrative, cultural, commercial, industrial, and knowledge capital of the state of Karnataka. It is the fifth largest metropolis in India, with an area of 741 sq. km. Bangalore's city administrative jurisdiction was widened in 2006 by merging the existing area of Bangalore city spatial limits with 8 neighbouring Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), and 111 Villages of Bangalore Urban District (Ramachandra and Kumar, 2008). Thus, Bangalore has grown spatially more than ten times since 1949 (69 square kilometres) and is a part of both the Bangalore urban and rural districts (figure 1).
