Description: The team developed two plausible scenarios for Bangalore, India, in 2060. In the first scenario, Kannagi’s Anklet, technological growth was heavily focused to boost the economy and to cement Bangalore as a global leader in the technological sphere. In the second scenario, Lakshamma’s Fort, the team showcased an alternative future where the local governments focused heavily on environmental efforts to solve problems like flooding and water shortages.
