Description:
Known for its call centres, Bangalore has become the Silicon Valley of India – a shining example of India’s success and “World City”. The programme asks what have been the causes of this success, including the role of education, globalisation and government de-regulation. We then look at the pros and cons of this growth, including : increased wealth and growth of the middle classes, growth of the IT sector and better employment opportunities, pollution and traffic congestion. We then ask, is this city sustainable and look at how the public and private sectors are seeking to address the problems by providing better transport, infrastructures and access to services.
