Faisalabad: The Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) on Monday (August 30) formed a five-member committee to resolve difficulties preventing the approval of the Faisalabad Master Plan, news sources reported.
The authority made the decision following a meeting with the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) and developers of private housing schemes in Circuit House. The participants were briefed on the master plan by the private firm working on it. To meet the city’s growing population and urban migration, the FDA has developed a Faisalabad Master Plan 2035. Concerns were expressed by FCCI members and private housing scheme representatives over the conversion of “Brown Areas” into “Green Zones” in order to boost vertical construction. The participants were also concerned by the conversion of peri-urban planning without prior notification or taking stakeholders into confidence.
Members of the FCCI also met with Shahbaz Gill, the prime minister’s adviser, to urge the premier’s assistance in the adoption of the master plan. In response, they were assured that a meeting with prime minister will be arranged to discuss the matter.
