Special report: The future of mobility in Bengaluru
A new Automotive World report focuses on the evolution of mobility and transportation in Bengaluru.<br />
<br />
Bengaluru¡¯s growing population has given rise to the city¡¯s dubious global reputation for traffic gridlock, and rush-hour congestion in Bengaluru (¡®Bangalore¡¯) is among the worst in India. Now the third most populous city in India, and ranked 24th in the world, Bengaluru has seen its population swell by over 40% since 2011. By 2031, the capital city of Karnataka State will be home to 20.3 million people.<br />
<br />
The city scores high in terms of innovation momentum. Bengaluru is India¡¯s hub for high-tech, e-commerce and start-ups¡ªit¡¯s also home to Daimler¡¯s largest R&D centre outside Germany, and one of GM¡¯s global R&D tech centres. The implementation of a smart city plan is a positive step, but in terms of future mobility, there is still much to be done to bring Bengaluru in line with other major cities.<br />
<br />
Automotive World¡¯s report on the future of mobility in Bengaluru explores the challenges facing one of the world¡¯s most congested cities, and the opportunities facing stakeholders seeking to help ease traffic gridlock, improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation-related pollution and greenhouse gases.<br />
