Have you experienced Bengaluru's officegoers rain? What’s the story behind it? | CTC Podcast | EP 13

Bengaluru’s unique weather history and geography have long defined its identity as the Garden City of India. But in recent decades, Bangalore's climate change has become a pressing reality,  with flooding, disappearing lakes, rapid urbanisation, and shifting rainfall patterns transforming the city’s landscape.On this episode of Code to Culture, we bring together Prakash Belawadi, acclaimed film and theatre personality, actor, activist, and journalist; Harini Nagendra, leading ecologist and research scholar; and Chiranjiv Singh, former IAS officer and India’s ambassador to UNESCO in Paris who explore the story of Bengaluru's sustainability, tracing its evolution from a city built around lakes and ecology to a fast-growing urban hub. They unpack the impact of Bangalore urban planning decisions, the loss of green cover, and the consequences of ignoring Bangalore rainfall patterns and natural water systems.Through personal memories and policy insights, the episode reveals how a city once celebrated for its Bangalore lakes and cool weather now faces an environmental crisis,  and what must change to build a resilient future.UnboxingBLR’s podcast "Code to Culture" is hosted by Malini Goyal (Founder and CEO of UnboxingBLR) and features conversations with entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators who have had a significant influence on Bengaluru.
