Maps, Masala & Missed Buses: Bengaluru’s Story Through Open Data
Session Description
What stories can a city tell if we learn how to listen to its data?
In this lightning talk, we’ll explore how publicly available datasets and free, open-source tools can help us uncover hidden patterns and overlooked problems in Bengaluru’s urban fabric.
Through compelling, data-driven visualizations, we'll journey through interactive maps that capture:
The complex interplay between traffic congestion and air quality
Gaps in public transport accessibility by analyzing bus stop coverage
Waste management inefficiencies revealed by contrasting civic records with citizen-reported grievances
The state of streetlight infrastructure, visualized through outage mapping
And yep! A lighter, delicious detour through data on popular eateries across the city
Expect a lot of meaningful visualisation and insightful discussions around them!
