The meetings in Dubai are an extension and continuation of different meetings with over 70 different major global design, planning and architecture firms, consultancies and experts, the release said.

Almost all the firms have expressed interest in partnering with Hyderabad and Telangana and they would be visiting Telangana in the near future for further consultations, it said. Revanth Reddy welcomed the best-in-class firms to Hyderabad and said, "Historically, cities have evolved near water. Rivers and lakes define cities naturally. Once the Musi is rejuvenated, Hyderabad will be a rare city in the world to be defined by a river and several major lakes."

Asking the firms to evolve ambitious early plan prototypes, Revanth Reddy said, "I am not competing with other Indian cities and states. I am trying to benchmark against the best globally, and will try to better it." The consultations would continue till Sunday night (a working day in Dubai) after which the Chief Minister-led delegation would be starting for Hyderabad.
