Design Jam: Reimagine Bengaluru
The Oorvani Foundation and the IISc Sustainable Transportation Lab (IST Lab) are pleased to invite you to participate in the “Reimagine Liveable Bengaluru Design Jam“, an initiative focused on rethinking and redesigning Bengaluru to improve its livability and inclusivity. This event is open to all individuals passionate about enhancing urban spaces.
