Hello, and welcome to the official web site of the Office of Advisor to the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Karnataka on Urban Affairs.

On these pages, you will find a number of ideas for strengthening the urban areas of the state economically and socially, and links to experiments that are being attempted in a few places. These ideas and experiments are broadly classifiable as follows:

  1. Coordinated development of neighbourhoods
  2. Improving civic infrastructure
  3. Strengthening urban livelihoods
  4. New Developments and Satellite Towns
  5. Policy Documents
  6. Innovations and best practices
  7. Attracting investments to solve critical social and economic problems
  8. Promoting e-governance

The Office of Urban Affairs Advisor will hold regular monthly events showcasing its work in each of the above areas, and invite participation from a variety of stakeholders - informed thought leaders, community development organisations, academic institutions and private citizens. Let us build urban Karnataka together, to meet today's challenges and to prepare for tomorrow's.

Thanks and regards,

Dr A Ravindra
Advisor to the Hon'ble CM, Urban Affairs
