Charminar Pedestrianization Project was initiated in 1998 by GHMC.
However, owing to the slow progress of the project without an Integrated Social and Economic strategy, the Honourable Minister for MA&UD, Government of Telangana, K.T. Rama Rao has embarked on initiating the “Charminar Historical Precinct Revitalization Plan”. In pursuance of the same, Special Chief Secretary, MA&UD, Shri. Arvind Kumar I.A.S., has initiated discussions with Mr. Luis Monreal -Director General, Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Mr. Ratish Nanda -Chief Executive, AKTC and Mr. Hamdan Abdul Majeed -Managing Director, Think City – Malaysia to partner with the Government of Telangana to envision this prestigious project.
The Quli Qutb Shah Development Authority (QQSUDA) and National Institute of Urban Management (NIUM) will be spearheading the project.
Bestowing renewed impetus and looking beyond Architectural Restoration, the “Charminar Historical Precinct Revitalization Plan” will be a Comprehensive Master Plan integrated with a Social and Economic Revitalization Plan to ensure Sustainable Development of the Historic Precinct.
