Introduction
In our everyday lives, we find ourselves complaining about problems in our cities. Problems that, more often than not, we don’t know the solutions to. We want change, but how do we get there?
Who is going to bring about this change?
For better cities, we must first dream. We must come together and inspire each other to reclaim our cities. As we have many different issues to tackle, the best way to try and solve these issues is by identifying the ones we can get involved in individually. All of us can contribute, it is only a matter of self-reflection and self-realisation.

The ‘Mirror on the Wall’ project was created to make people look within themselves in order to initiate the change we long to see.
We asked everybody: What will you change in your life, to see a change in your city?
The ideas and other responses were collected on the event day, as written pieces on a large banner and through interviews. Finally, professional artists helped us prepare an 'artistic tribute' to our collective vision of a better Bengaluru city!
