CHIKKABETTAHALLI QUARRY BANGALORE, INDIA

The region of Bangalore reveals many quarries many of which are in no working conditions anymore and are perceived to be desolate infringement spaces. The soil conditions are poor due to the harsh nature of mining activities and the quarries ultimately end up serving as collection points for unusable materials and sweepings.

On the other hand, stone formations act as large natural sculptures in the ever-changing game of light and shadow during the summer and monsoon periods. Museums, leisure parks, hotels, meeting centers, etc. could be part of programmes which come up, as a result, of the transformation of these regions.

In the future, Chikkabettahalli visitors can have an opportunity to celebrate the earlier quarry, learn about water purification techniques, plant cultivation methods and even stay here during informative knowledge-based seminars. The site offers the local inhabitants of the region another chance at a sustainable form of local recreation.
