With the advent and growth of IT industry, as well as numerous industries in other sectors and the onset of economic liberalisation since the early 1990s, Bangalore has taken lead in service-based industries fuelling substantial growth of the city both economically and spatially. Bangalore has become a cosmopolitan city \nattracting people and business alike, within and across nations. This profile notes the urban setting and provides an overview of the urban fabric, while discussing various \nprospects related to infrastructure and governance (Sudhira, et al. 2007).
