In 2015, the Street Quality Score (SQS) initiative evaluated the quality of 3,500 kilometers of roads in Bengaluru. This assessment covered various aspects of infrastructure, including footpaths, pedestrian crossings, street lighting, bus stops, and air pollution. The survey, conducted using user-friendly Android apps, took place over three months, from September to November 2015.

SQS aims to establish a framework for objectively measuring the quality of life in different parts of a city, spanning categories like water, sanitation, environment, and mobility. It is envisioned as a reference point that can facilitate collaboration between MLAs, councillors, administrators, and citizens in making informed budgeting decisions for the city.
