Greater Bengaluru Authority or GBA (formerly BBMP) has introduced a new model of city administration for Bengaluru. GBA is formed under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act (GBGA), 2024. The GBA is formed to improve governance, decentralization, and service delivery.
Under this Act, the existing Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is being restructured into five independent municipal corporations, each headed by its own Mayor and Commissioner, but overseen by a Greater Bengaluru Authority for coordination.
Objectives Of Greater Bengaluru Authority
- Decentralize governance in a city of over 1.3 crore people
- Improve civic management, infrastructure, and service delivery
- Empower local wards while ensuring unified city planning
