Abstract: This document serves as both the final report of Janaagraha’s 2003 Ward Vision Campaign and a practical guide for citizen-led urban planning. It outlines the campaign’s context within Bangalore’s decentralization efforts and highlights the role of ‘Core Communities’—active local citizen groups. It details outreach methods, workshop processes, and key outcomes across ten wards. Each ward’s vision document addresses a major local issue with goals and recommendations. The report also offers a roadmap and timeline for other communities to replicate the initiative, emphasizing continued civic engagement and long-term implementation of community-driven solutions in urban governance.
