WRI India Ross Center for Sustainable Cities (previously EMBARQ India) has maintained a presence in Bengaluru since 2010. It has served as a key change agent for sustainable development, starting with mobility and moving more broadly to urban development, related services such as energy and water, and climate resilience. WRI India Ross Center’s long-term engagement across multiple sectors and scales makes Bengaluru one of its “deep dive” cities. The main objective of this document is to understand the results of this “deep dive” approach in Bengaluru, by capturing a decade of growth and work, and evaluating our influence, impact, and lessons learned over the years.
