Hi Arun and others in Bangalore, A Bangalore based org came across the map I made and I talked with their team today. They want to do pretty much what Arun and I have mentioned in this thread. I'm pasting their email below.. please follow up with them if you like it. Also, there is a Data-thon event <https://www.meetup.com/DataKind-Bangalore/events/245799969/?rv=ea1> happening this weekend where this project could potentially be worked upon.
*Email from Ooru :* Hi Nikhil Thanks for the discussion on phone. The BDA has recently put out its Masterplan and the data in form of huge reports and PDF maps in a remote location. in the city. Ideally the maps should have been displayed on the web/ at major places of the city - initiated by BDA or its official consultants. However this has not happened. Much of the ongoing public discussion is also very analytical limited by lack of spatial data interface to make constructive comments and share it with BDA. Recently a group of urban planners and data enthusiasts have got together to overcome this deficiency and we intend to share the master plan information to wider audience, help various forums to run their consultations, but with a tool that captures the information to have it sent it straight to BDA in an unadulterated manner. Besides this we would like to bring various experts / citizens to put up their comments, etc on a website dedicated to this activity. We are in the process of doing it on web called www.ooru.in <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ooru.in&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHWSLhMhzG8eWQAkHV26I7gLbpHQQ> . At this point we are individuals / professionals from diverse background to do our bit to the city we live in. What we require immediately within this week or so , as the deadline for the public consultation ends in about 45 days is : 1 Display of maps , existing land use/ proposed land use and the earlier RMP 2015 Proposed land use maps- Georef data available in png/jpeg data. 2. Ability to overlay / transperancy between the maps 3. Search the location. Google data to start with. *4. Drop a pin with a log in ( gmail,etc) to put their comments- the comments with map information sent to designated BDA gmail id. * *5. discussion thread / forum * Do suggest next step/ lead.
