An inauguration ceremony is an important aspect of any prestigious event in India, and we were extremely pleased to have a number of high-profile VIP's in attendance for the welcome and inauguration of the CTBUH 2010 World Conference. Chaired by CTBUH Executive Director Antony Wood, CTBUH Chairman Professor Sang Dae Kim of Korea University first welcomed delegates before each VIP gave a brief address with their thoughts and hopes for the conference: Mr. Lalit Gandhi, Chairman of the Remaking of Mumbai Federation and lead partner on the conference from the Mumbai side; Justice P N Bhagwati, President of the Remaking of Mumbai Federation; William Baker, CTBUH Trustee and Partner of SOM; and Mayank Gandhi, Secretary of the Remaking of Mumbai Federation. Our Chief Guest and representative of Platinum sponsor the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust, Prince Abbas Fakruddin, then spoke about some of the issues facing sustainable urban development in India, including the understandings of policy makers and the present thinking of the government and solutions that are being planned. Each guest participated in the lighting of the inauguration candle, then the 2010 conference was officially declared open.
