Several of the BMC's assistant municipal commissioners (AMC) seem to have missed the brief and taken an easy way out of suggesting spaces for developing 'urban squares' that will host and promote local art and culture. A majority of them have suggested using already developed gardens to further build the squares that will display art.
Missed the mark
The idea behind the initiative was to develop a new, neighbourhood space for citizens to visit and celebrate local art and culture. While many AMCs stuck to the brief and identified new open spaces where events can be organised once or twice a month, several others recommended the safest option - gardens.
