Telangana CM meets urban master plan developers in Dubai

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, with a focus on the development of the 56-kilometre long Musi riverfront, engaged in in-depth discussions with leading international city planners, designers, mega master plan developers, and architects in Dubai. Reddy emphasised that Hyderabad's goal was not to compete with any Indian city or state but to establish a global benchmark. He urged the firms to create initial plan prototypes with the highest level of ambition.Welcoming the best-in-class firms to Hyderabad, he said, “Historically, cities have evolved near water. Rivers and lakes define cities naturally. Once the Musi is rejuvenated, Hyderabad will be a rare city in the world to be defined by a river and several major lakes.” The extensive series of consecutive meetings had a primary focus on the creation of eco-friendly urban areas and the exploration of commercial connections and investment strategies along the Musi riverfront. These meetings in Dubai represent a seamless extension of his interactions with more than 70 prominent international design, planning, and architecture firms, as well as consultancies and experts.
