Johnson Market Bangalore, Karnataka

The case of Johnson Market (Hosur Road, Bengaluru) shows the vulnerability of historic structures, under threat of demolition by the City Corporation. A feasibility report was prepared to redevelop the 1929 CE market as a mall. Historic fabric of towns and cities is at risk of disappearing if urgent interventions are not made through policy decisions. Such quaint precincts and historic buildings contribute to the richness, familiarity and character in the fast-paced developing cities.
