Kolkata’s city council has implemented a community-led initiative to enhance the city’s nighttime ambiance. Over 21 months, residents have initiated the creation of illuminated models representing key landmarks, including buildings, monuments, and public spaces. This project, dubbed “Sparkle Kolkata,” encourages local participation and fosters community pride. The initiative utilizes simple, individually-designed models to transform the cityscape, creating a visually appealing and festive nighttime experience for citizens. The project’s success is being measured by the number of landmarks illuminated and the positive feedback received from residents.
