Indore receives proposals to adopt and develop public spaces

Indore Municipal Corporation has received 10 new proposals from organisations seeking to adopt and develop public spaces across the city.

The proposals include plans related to gardens, green belts and urban forest development.

Under the initiative, organisations can take responsibility for maintaining designated spaces for up to five years.

Municipal commissioner Kshitij Singhal said the programme was encouraging community participation in urban upkeep and environmental improvement.

Officials said the initiative is aimed at improving public spaces through partnerships with institutions and private groups, reported The Times of India.

The proposals are currently being reviewed by civic authorities.

The programme forms part of broader efforts to expand greenery and improve public infrastructure.

Authorities said citizen and institutional involvement could help strengthen maintenance of civic spaces.

The development reflects increasing collaboration between civic bodies and community organisations in urban planning.
