Abstract: The *Participatory Planning Handbook* is a citizen-focused guide developed for Janaagraha’s ‘Ward Vision’ campaign to enhance community engagement in Bangalore. It simplifies urban governance by explaining service structures, costs, policies, and institutional roles. Aimed at empowering residents, the handbook provides clear, actionable information and contact details, enabling citizens to participate effectively in local decision-making. By fostering collaboration among citizens, civic agencies, and experts, it promotes transparency and shared responsibility in urban planning. The handbook ultimately supports a participatory approach to addressing Bangalore’s urban challenges and improving service delivery at the ward level.
