What should Bengaluru build on the NGEF land? A Skydeck, museum, or public park?

- There's 120 acres of open land right in the heart of the city and the government is looking to convert this into a public space. There are two competing visions for what to do here:
1. To make it a large green space with a few public buildings like museums & libraries
2. Build a giant 250m tall tower with hotels, restaurants, and more
Let's talk about which one to build and why.

The aerial shots and the thumbnail creative is just out of the world! The voiceover and bg score is so calm and fitting. So well made! Excited to see more from here!
Only a park with a huge lake. Thank you
A forest park with bio diversity museum will be amazing.
Greenery should be retained, very essential
This is an underrated channel! Every city needs such content to bring people in conversations about city planning.
If the land is used for all three things park,museum and skydeck the entire combination will be a great thing.People who come to park will also visit the skydeck and the muesum and vice vera😊
Hope it becomes a Cubbon park type place. No sky deck needed hope DK Shivkumar nd Siddaramaiah ji think about it
building a skydeck does not take away from the park but adds to the skyline.
@@ayushc5704 See already water shortage, so much of high rises apartments nd establishment in Bengaluru. A park is better the population will keep rising hence nature is good for a Robust city like ours, we already lost 76 % of greenery
@@ayushc5704 nah, cubbon park is absolutely legendary in bangalore, so is lal bagh but we need something like that in this area too and this 120acre land is just beautiful, killing it for another concrete structure is plain foolishness
and also this park is much much much more realistically possible because its way cheaper and its already there, building that sky deck from scratch..yeah consider yourself lucky if atleast your grandchildren can see it while u are alive.
@@ayushc570414 million people and no water , no time for that bullshit
Park!! Park!!park!!
Defence area means no chance a Skydeck happens, hopefully. Hoping they make a park with walkable tracks and sports areas
Convert it to green space like cubbon park! We need trees. Hope this video reaches the concerned department.
Only natural park, not all these gimmicks
inshallah brother, inshallah

Fck Bengaluru should have some world identity
yes bro, it doesnt make sense to construct a skydeck or skyscraper or anything of these things, it would be kind off oddto construct one of those kinda things in the area cuz like its more of a residential/near an industrial area and not really a commercial area. A natural park with a modern and urban green touch would be perfect I think. However I could be just judging the place since I have not really travelled to the inner city area of Bengaluru.
Why??
It would be nice if they build a public park with sky deck in the middle for tourist or visitors sight for Bangalore's skyline
.
Wishing they retain the greenery and make it a park that the public can access. 🤞🏼If the greenery is gone it will impact many migratory birds, would impact water levels in this area and the heat intensity will rise. Hoping it is made into a park, lots of fitness enthusiasts and families in the areas from indiranagar, banaswadi and ORR can make use of this space if it becomes like cubbon park. It will be of great service to the health and well being of the public in this busy metrocity.
SMVT and Baiyappanahalli desperately need a pedestrian-friendly (and hopefully bike-friendly) connection. Govt should absolutely take advantage of having this connection along with an additional (naturally grown for free) public green space. Museums/indoor sports/library would be a big plus too if the authorities have any vision.
Trees ..just so many trees and a beautiful walkway between them❤
The defence folks made sure a barrier blocks the view of the land on the bridge from SMVT to Old Madras Road.
That bridge is barely few tens of meters tall. Skydeck is not happening.
My mother used to work in NGEF. I have a special connection with this place. I hope they follow the advise given in this video. Great renders and ideas. Thank you.
I vote for Park n Museum. Otherwise this will be a pain in the future
We already lost a huge playground that was there and plenty of trees around the same, in the process of the metro construction. Let's not do any more concrete construction in that place. Please preserve the mini forest, trees and the factory remains as it's and open the same to the public with minimal accessibility modifications
Wonderful video 👏
Skydeck is not a bad deal.Bengaluru will get a iconic buildings and public space.
Came across this via your Twitter. Great work!
Of course this space should be a public park!
Public park. Nothing else!
A park with a museum and a travel path sounds good. Why do we need a skydeck anyways?
Because the city lacks tourist attractions, anyone who comes to Bengaluru where will you take them? Cubbon Park, another park? another park? How many parks??
@@Albetroz1415 I get your point, but build the skydeck in like somewhere else no?
@@SushanthEmpire52YT Yes exactly but what I've come across after searching is that there's no land available in Central Bengaluru, the government obviously won't be buying private land to build this, costly. They'll build wherever they have government land.
It's not like Bangalore has a great skyline for a skydeck anyway. God knows what do you want to see from up there.
@@SreeraagMohan amen finally someone said it! @albetroz in this thread is being very selfish. he says where will i take my tourists and guests if they come and visit
my brother in christ, these parks arent some tourist attractions alone, lakhs and lakhs of people will benifit from a cubbon park type park in another area of bangalore, im sorry that you couldnt entertain your guest lmao
Awesome clips of NGEF land. Thanks for sharing.! Government should consider transforming the land into a modest, sustainable park instead of investing in the construction of an extravagant and pompous sky deck.
Please use funds to sort urgent needs, like traffic, garbage pollution, water logging, lake maintenance etc, Bangalore doesn’t need a sky deck, it needs well designed parks, politicians have absolutely zero brains I wish these people leave such ideas to qualified urban and city planners.
Build a lake and make a park that's the requirement
Let it be a forest, jungle or what ever it is right now. Or convert it into a park for public
Garden City must should do Lalbagh2
I wonder why so less likes on this video. This is really good one.
Park , sky deck can be built else where like in office areas
This channel is gold. But has very few views and subscribers. Sharing your videos in all my groups
Hey thank you so much!
A park with a concert hall would be so good! It’d help revive Bangalore’s dead music scene
That "music scene" had kept kannada out for decades, I'd rather have a tower thank you.
@@Albetroz1415 what? Are you seriously blaming the music scene for not having a music scene?
A coalition of architects and urban designers have come together to keep this a public space. Can’t give too many details yet but the green is being preserved in totality with adaptive reuse of the existing 3 buildings is part of the current proposal.
The site in reality is beyond beautiful- like something out of a movie. Believe me when I say it needs no intervention - there internal road network suffices as a walkway. Scarcely believe it’s in Bangalore. It is truly endearing to see the public rally behind a public project like this. Keep it up 👍
Also, slight correction- the site is 105 acres - a part has now been given to railway expansion
What an excellent news sir, thank you for sharing and best of luck!
The skydeck is shitty idea, the city has so little green space remaining, I'd turning it into a public park is easily the best option.
they should build a massive lake.
Park/ botanical garden please
both can be done and both have its pros and cons
1. Park and Museum could be good option but there is no guarantee that footfalls will be higher because without any unique thing or attraction people just don't want to visit a Museum or a regular park
2 . Its a good attraction project but chances of de-forestation is higher than last project but if its done would be good for commercial purposes
Contrarian view: Bengaluru does not actually have any large scale momuments / DESTINATIONs etc. I was once in the mood to go for a long drive at night. In Mumbai late night driving destination were aplenty (just go to any of the seafacing promenades) Delhi has India Gate (not as cool as promenades for sure)
A sky deck type structure has the potential to become a destination and real landmark in Bengaluru which doesnt really have many of those.
I fully agree that somehow the whole thing has to be done while minimizing damage to the existing forest and structures.
Why can't they build a sky deck but also a library inside it? They can make minor changes to that sky deck and add Library and Museum, both inside it. Those factory buildings don't need to be used at all, keep 1 or 2 standing and demolish rest of them to create small sets of ponds. The rest of the area will be intact.
An Opera house would be fabulous.
In other great cities like Moscow, Music scene is amazing there. They really really emphasize on their cultural heritage through opera, ballet etc. If Bangalore could do the same, to showcase its British Heritage, then it would be truly amazing.
A raw unmanicured green forest, with walking paths, and the factory buildings converted into sports areas! The greenery will give fresh air, and great to do sports in a fresh environment
Maybe bird sanctuary or any animal protected sites?
It would be good to have eco friendly sports arena/s surrounded by the park, which will reduce the congestion of the current/ inaccessible stadiums in the CBD. This can also be the sports village for the future.
A big lake in the middle 🙏
Tower look cool😎
If Skydeck made in NGEF layout there will be rapid traffic growth in the IT hub are af Bangalore so better to place Skydeck near Kengeri( hemigepura) where it is marked right now.
Let there be green💚
A massive tree park with local biodiversity is ideal. Unfortunately only the highest budget project with handsome kickbacks will be selected by the politicians.
Question is what gives the maximum cut? The tall structure or the public space/garden development. I think the choice is very clear, more the concrete move the commission. There could be another option, wait and do nothing will people around encroach it, take money then legalize those encroachments and have a good long vote back there. Sad but the modus operandi of politicians in Bangalore is visible for everyone to see.
They can use this to have a tram to connect byappanahalli and SMVT station
Should do the same as Singapore. Public space to enjoy
3:44 and 3:51 I didn't expect these points from you.
The skyscrapers are nothing but ego measuring towers. Hardly they're useful beyond a certain height of around 10 floors.
Why not both? A tower in the middle of a green park
If after the water crisis and drastic cutting of trees we still don't learn our lesson - nothing will stop us from destroying ourselves. I really hope this piece of land is untouched.
Hi can u make a video on moderato signal which is installed in 28 junctions it was told that by March end it would be functional bit still no latest info on it.
Skydeck looks like something a 3D designer made in two days rather than something borne out of meticulous planning. Besides, there's no lack of malls and theaters around that area so it is better if they turn it into a convention hall or a park (without all the braindead camera restrictions that lalbah and cubbon park has).
Lalbagh and cubbon park also requires an uplift
DK will build tower and his networth will increase as his company will get contract
It needs to be a cubbon park like area. I hope the defense people step in and prevent this disaster.
hey there as you pointed out defence people or HAL did not give permission to built the skyscapper
Only park
That's almost 15% of New York Central Park, it will be iconic for Bangalore and it's future. Future generation will make documentaries on how this space was saved for a public park.
Green Clean Safe should be the priority
DKS really had me laughing! 🤣
As a community, we should advocate for implementing a Green:Cement ratio in all Tier 1/2/3 cities and towns. I believe this responsibility should be taken up not just by State Governments but also mandated by the Central Government. It's crucial that people realize the consequences of neglecting sustainable development, climate change, and the preservation of resources like fresh water and clean air.
may be build a lake instead of keeping the buildings it will help recharge water table and aquifers in the area much more. we are loosing so many lakes, building one should be welcome thought
Skyney seems futuristic, I support it.
Why cant we have both?
प्राकृतिक उपवन + 5000 वट वृक्ष पीपल, नीम, अशोक बाँस स्वच्छ वातावरण के लिए
+ 500 वर्षाजल शोषक लघुताल की श्रंखला
Bangalore needs a Identity like Eiffel tower or a new land mark.. there is already
The real version will be very different from the render, please release renders which are achievable.
definitely something like central park in NYC
A part is what the city needs. We have infinite number of selfie spots but the amount of oxygen is limited.
Leave it as a forest
The park for sure, green coverage in bangalore is dwindling compared to the earlier days ,a stupid skydeck or whatever building that is being proposed will surely be a tourist attraction, no doubt, but at the cost of the remaining trees we have. A green space is way better than any stupid ideas being proposed for this land
Dont do anything, just leave it like that and let nature twke its course.
Skydeck may boost the tourist attractions...... Well the modern world was chasing behind modern infrastructure we are lacking behind the other cities of India like Mumbai Hyderabad
but what will you even see from the skydeck is my question
Sky deck project is best. Demolish the factories and use that land to build the sky deck. The bottom of the sky deck should be a public theater, sports area, convention center etc with underground parking only so as to not compromise the green area. Some huts made of natural materials here and there for people to rest or for children to do arts and crafts would be needed. Overall the space can be turned into a green activity zone without compromising the green cover. Iconic buildings are giant tourist attractions which will increase the income of small businesses operating there. We cannot keep doing green spaces where there is no revenue generating activity that benefits people. That kind of balanced development is needed.
It seems the nature already developed a green forest. govt only need to protect it. building a green park is cheap and quick
Play area (sports) and park, no more buildings
ONLY A BIG PARK AND A SPORTS PLACES TO ENCOURAGE ALL KIND OF SPORTS NO ANY BUILDING NO SHOPPING CENTRE.AS WE NEED TREES FOR HEALTH TOO.
They should make a waterbody in it. Too less water bodies in bangalore
Public park. And I dont mean just drop a bunch of potted plants lined along a pavement, so that the babus can pocket the rest of public funds. A well thought out sustainable park with local plants and trees and good walking trails and security.

I'm not sure what the purpose of the skydeck would be. Bengaluru isn't a tall city. Most of the 4-5 story buildings ugly from above. The park + museum would be much nicer. I'm not an expert on skydecks but wouldn't a more central location (perhaps in CBD itself) make more sense for a skydeck?
This should be done in City centre
Save this property to save the olden name Garden city, its Usefull for future generation, please dont spoil the Gods gift Nature 🙏
Bangalore needs good clean Raja kaaluve, good sewage water management.. bicycle paths and more green areas👍
I'd prefer a nature park! But whatever they build, they better maintain it!
To come up with a project word Rs 850 Cr, the greed of the politicians and many others are responsible.
It should be made like a Cubbon Park. Bengaluru needs peace in the middle of the city.
Water tank
Ngef must be retained for employees to remember it is very sad that a great factory with german collaboration was closed and destroyed
A concert hall would be successful! Thinking about the connectivity
@user-uq8hj5de6l why tho?like the factories can be repurposed into a concert hall or perhaps a club, check out the Berghain night club which was re purposed from a factory to a club, its the most exclusive club in the world now, we can make something really cool out of that space without destroying it
@user-uq8hj5de6l okay boomer
Something like a central park in New York!
Build whatever that does not add more traffic to the area.
Park and maybe a man-made lake
Why would you want to repair and maintain those old factory buildings? I feel it would be expensive and cost more. We should rather have some new buildings there or completely cover it up with green spaces or artificial ponds/mini lakes
Nothing but bio diversity park which will retain the 5:11 existing greenery.My father used to work here and he is very emotionally attached to this place.
Watching this today after cabinet has given approvel for the skydeck.
Money minting project for politicians
0:46 skydeck sounds like a lackey wanna-be idea by an unimaginative architect with a scarcity mindset like the one who built the 3000cr sardar statue with poor tourism ROI. how about a novel architectural monument that hasn't been made before in the entire world, like Bjark Ingel's smoke ring machine, a park/garden that shames all French gardens, with a library besting the Washington DC one with books stacked sky high overseeing the green beauty, a museum that sells yearly passes at the entrance confusing users why anyone would need such a thing and then realising after 2 hours that it can't be finished in a year like national galley UK, gymnasium that inspires future olympians, diving pool with water clearer than life of pie movie, etc., just make it a global head turner and not something you'd want to check out once and then say "meh, we can check it once, but there isn't much to see for second time". and most important of all ROI to make it all back. if this doesn't increase the apt prices in the surrounding area by 10x it isn't good enough. and please pick the best architects starting with Namma Bengaluru's very own Shibani + Kamal. if no politician took cuts and all went to the architects, designers and contractors, it is possible.
