The scenario is no different in India. Being the second most populated country and the fastest growing economy in the world, the government has launched many initiatives towards the infrastructure development in the country. This has given a major boost to the Indian urban planning and design services industry. Although there are a multitude of companies in this space, not all are adept at the latest technologies & trends, and thus fall short in terms of quality.
Standing-out among the crowd through its proven mettle in this space is City Planners. Headquartered in Chennai, the company was incepted in 2005, and since then, carved a niche for itself in the industry by offering high quality urban planning & design services to consultants, contractors, concessionaires, state government agencies and central
government authorities. “During the initial days of my career, I had visited many foreign countries and observed the urban planning industry there very closely. After returning back to India in 2005, I observed that there was a gap in the industry which needed to be addressed. So, leveraging my experience of working with several international firms, I incepted City Planners to offer international quality urban planning services in India”, says Mohan Ambigapathi (Director, City Planners), explaining about the inception story.

However, what makes City Planners unique is that it continues to offer its support to customers till each of their projects become operational.
