Abstract The study investigates the phenomenon of "pathway anguish" in Central Bangalore, a rapidly urbanizing metropolis facing significant pedestrian infrastructure challenges. Despite its status as India's Silicon Valley, Bangalore's pedestrian pathways, particularly in areas like MG Road, Brigade Road, and Commercial Street, have deteriorated. Encroachments, poor maintenance, and inadequate urban planning have turned daily commutes into risky and stressful endeavors for residents, workers, and tourists alike. This study aims to highlight the pressing need for improved pedestrian infrastructure by exploring the root causes of these issues and offering potential solutions.

Inadequate pedestrian infrastructure has far-reaching socio-economic and environmental consequences affecting accessibility, safety, and urban mobility. Through a combination of field observations, stakeholder interviews, and case studies, the study identifies key problem areas, including the lack of dedicated pedestrian zones, insufficient enforcement of regulations, and the adverse effects of rapid commercialization. By examining global best practices and proposing policy-driven and design-centric solutions, this paper advocates for a pedestrian-friendly urban model that prioritizes walkability, sustainability, and equitable urban development.
Keywords Bangalore, pedestrian infrastructure, pathway anguish, urban planning, walkability, encroachments, public safety, civic infrastructure.
