Yes! With residents unaware of how this plan impacts their life, the safest approach is to join most convenient voice of resistance against the system. I'm hopeful some of us can help make some interventions that will allow a more constructive approach to city planning and this could be the chance. Citizenmatters has a good post on decoding the masterplan which was helpful: http://bengaluru.citizenmatters.in/how-citizens-can-decode-bengaluru-master-plan-draft-22296 Also following the tweets #RMP2031 has some sparse analysis: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=rmp2031 > If we could geo-reference the maps.. > Have done it for the existing and proposed landuse for the city level: - Existing landuse http://mapwarper.net/maps/26003#Preview_tab - Proposed landuse http://mapwarper.net/maps/25970#Preview_tab Doing so for each planning district would be the next step, if someone can take it up. Tried overlaying this on OSM and the results are quite good: https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/planemad/cj5pqfbva15bh2ro6ald3hugo.html?fresh=true&title=true&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicGxhbmVtYWQiLCJhIjoiemdYSVVLRSJ9.g3lbg_eN0kztmsfIPxa9MQ#15.26/12.9766/77.5974 > and have an interface where people can mark areas and post questions for > them.. > and have open discussions around them.. > and get the architects, engineers etc involved in creating the plans > involved in those discussions... > and also have a way of highlighting and appreciating good work done by the > urban planners.. > that would be nice.

Can help if someone gives it a start. If its simple to use and enables a discussion, it could be pretty easy to spread the word to atleast mark corrections in the existing landuse plan. -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
