After the official opening the honourable Minister will address local, regional and international delegates during the opening of the Cityscape India Conference. Her speech entitled ‘Affordable Housing For All In India’ will outline the initiatives to develop residential property, not only for India’s burgeoning middle class, which is now estimated at 325 million people, but also for India’s lower class, which still represents approximately 70% of India’s 1.2 billion population.
“28% of India’s population now lives in conurbations and that figure is growing rapidly. The demand for affordable housing is immense and potentially the long term returns for investors and developers is colossal,“ said Graham Wood, Exhibition Director.
