Bengaluru's Public Spaces Repository

https://www.blrpublicspace-revival.in/repository

Over the last three years, as a part of the Sustainable Mobility Network, Sensing Local, along with other partners, developed the Urban Revamp Design Challenge (https://sensinglocal.wixsite.com/urbanrevamp), which invited design proposals from Architects to re-imagine under-utilised public spaces in Bengaluru, supported by active citizen groups in the neighbourhood. Two successive competitions resulted in 70 design proposals for 4 sites.

Great map of public spaces in Bangalore by Sensing Local. Categorized under labels such as food streets, places under metro lines and flyovers, walker streets and so on, I think it would be neat to have a Slow Routes type routing map that optimizes for pedestrian friendly features on OSM and takes you through some of these POIs. At a high-level I understand that this is an orienteering problem.
