Credai: Include our experts in Bengaluru Vision 2022 panel

NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: The Bengaluru chapter of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Association of India (Credai), an apex body of real-estate developers, has urged the Karnataka government to include at least one representative from the real-estate body in the Bengaluru Vision 2022 that will soon be set up for the strategic and planned development of Bengaluru city.

Making a strong case for the inclusion of a trade body representative in the Karnataka government’s panel, Credai-Bengaluru president Bhaskar T Nagendrappa said in a letter addressed to Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai, “Our members have developed many landmark properties in Bengaluru which have both commercial and public utility. This has given our members great expertise in the geographical and topographical layout of the city. Our suggestions will be in tune with and will amplify the ethos of Bengaluru in having environmentfriendly, constructive, inclusive and sustainable development plan.”

Credai is a premier body of real-estate developers with more than 13,000 developer-members across 217 city corporations in 21 states. For more than two decades, it has been playing an important role in formulating town-planning policy solutions for better planning of cities.

Nagendrappa said Credai has contributed many milestone projects to public and private infrastructure, having closely worked with the civic administrative set-up for drawing up the Revised Master Plan of 2015. Therefore the presence of a Credai member in the panel will add a new dimension to planning.
