Bengaluru Pete is the area of Bangalore city which was established by Kempegowda I (c. 1510???1570) in 1537 with roads laid out in the cardinal directions, and entrance gates at the end of each road. The old Pete, structured in the contemporary style of deep networks of crowded streets, richly represented the multi-cultural identity, social history, and economic geography of the times which are considered as a hallmark in the planning and design of any urban agglomerate.
