Karnataka’s Urban Forestry Mission has initiated the “Smart Green Corridor” project, planting urban native trees along major city roads in Bengaluru. Each planting zone includes monitored moisture sensors, automated drip irrigation, and solar-powered street lights. The project aims to shade pedestrians, reduce urban heat islands, and improve air quality. Early results show a 3–4 °C drop in surface temperatures during midday hours. Local universities monitor tree health via a GIS dashboard. The pilot covers MG Road and Residency Road, with plans to expand to 10 corridors by 2027.
