What I notice from the conversations and points people have put up, is that nobody is thinking of learning and education. Especially of informal experiential learning.
The single largest source of tomorrow's technical manpower is going to be the cities of today. And we need to do something about experiential environmental education here! Even the Supreme Court thought it fit that a knowledge of the environment is good at the school level itself. So, parks could be a bit more rustic, a bit more wilder, and serve as educational resources for the "nature" around us.
The Government Archaeological Museum and the Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum are close by, and "nature" could be a part of the educational complex too! If one thinks of art in nature, then Cubbon park should be a part of the "complex" with the Venkatappa Art gallery there.
So, why can't we just have more rustic areas and more greenery in our midst?
