Urban planning is the backbone of sustainable development — but town planners remain invisible in India’s legal and administrative framework.

Despite their crucial role in housing, smart cities, infrastructure, transport, environment, and disaster management, planners are excluded from decision-making. This gap has led to:

• Unplanned urbanisation
• Encroachment on public land
• Traffic chaos and poor infrastructure
• Environmental degradation

India needs a Town Planner Act that ensures statutory recognition, licensing, accountability, and participation in policy-making.

The Voice of Planner movement is uniting professionals across the country to demand justice and recognition. The protest at Jantar Mantar is a peaceful call for reforms.
