Hello Data Enthusiast,

I am looking for open and free data which maps Bangalore Constituencies. Something like KML file which I can impose on Google Maps.

Does anyone who if such data exists ?

PS: Data is available at http://openbangalore.org/available-data/ but its old and wards boundaries etc have changed since then.


Thanks,
Parag

What constituencies are you looking for? Assembly constituencies? or Municipal Constituencies?

Hi

I run an analytics company & we do a lot of work with many industries. The struggle constantly is to "tell stories with data". Analysts are good at analyzing & often they struggle with visualizing & telling their story.We are also working with an NGO & doing analytics for them where we need "stories" to be told from the data for front end people.

I was keen to talk to people who could do visualization projects with us & also share ideas & thoughts.

my email id is : ajay....@cequitysolutions.com

I thought I would post here rather than open a new thread, even if this thread is old.

I am looking for ward boundaries of Bangalore Municipal Corporation PRIOR to the creation of BBMP. Because I am trying to link Census 2001 and Census 1991 data to ward boundaries to estimate population densities and how they changed over time.

So does anyone know where I can get a reasonable quality map (even pdf/jpg) of BMP ward boundaries of 2001?

Hi Sharad,

This is jyothi, I'm doing my PhD in Bangalore

I'm also looking for Bangalore dist ward boundaries as per 2001 census statistics. Actually I'm trying to compare the 2011 census data with 2001 census data. but ward numbers are not matching. It would be very useful if the 2001 boundary map is available.

Please do let me know, if you know anay availability of such maps

Hi Sharad,

Here it is erstwhile BMP with 100 wards. This is something I managed when I was interning with BMP. 

Thejesh, please feel free to add under OpenBangalore repo.

Best,
Sudhira.

Dear Sudhira:

Thanks for this. A small query: have you checked how this BMP layer sits on Google Earth? Seems to me that it is about 400m shifted to the southeast. See screenshot, where I have also overlaid my layer for BBMP (not BMP) wards. (And I think the BBMP layer is sitting correctly, because it follows prominent roads.

Bringing up an old thread: BBMP ward boundaries


I tried to compare with a BBMP wardboundary layer i had, and I think the OpenCity version is more accurate/uptodate. But for the life of me, I could not load the abovementioned github files (geojson or shp or kml) in my QGIS. Says invalid file.
