Revitalization of City Core Petta Zone, Bangalore Final Pre-feasibility Report Infrastructure Development Corporation (Karnataka) Limited Infra House, 39, 5th Cross, 8th Main, RMV Extension, Sadashivnagar, Bangalore – 560080 Ph: 91 – 80 – 23613014 / 15; Fax: 91 – 80 – 23613016 Foreword While most of the cities in India have been concentrating on their conventional infrastructure requirements, many cities are still discovering how to deal with the challenge of urban renewal in a broader sense. Many cities in the region have old or historic inner-city areas of considerable historic and cultural value. These city centers are not only valuable old assets but opportunities for revitalization of local economic development and national cultural identity. Inner-city areas and urban heritage assets can become important opportunities for public and private investments with a good potential for bankable and profitable public–private partnership projects. The City core or Petta occupies a very significant place in the historic context of Bangalore. As the largest informal economy of the city, trade and commerce is its primary activity. It has served as the main business centre for Bangalore in the post-independence era. Government of Karnataka intends to revitalize the Petta area. This study explores various approaches, options of revitalization and possibility of taking up the revitalization under PPP framework.
