A better underground parking system complying to the norms for the cars today

Jayanagar 4th Block Market was built in 1962 as a planned neighbourhood market. The neighbourhood originally consisted of a single, diversified community made up of residents who were at the time a part of the working class community, who came from different parts of the country and backgrounds. As a result, the market reflected this very character. The neighbourhood has witnessed a significant loss of this identity, and the market has had a progressive decline in accessibility and a customer base that appreciates its value. In addition to recognising the economic forces at work in the current scenario, the project aims to restore value to the market.
