Nayana Mawilmada, a renowned Urban Development and Infrastructure expert currently in Sri Lanka and holding the prestigious role of Director General will speak to the members, guests and public on a very important and current topic ‘The Development of the Megapolis’ and perhaps how the private sector and its managers may contribute towards its successful implementation.
With the enormous traffic congestion that prevails in the greater part of Colombo, there is a crying need to provide suitable alternatives such as new and more modern rapid transport and introduction of perhaps new road rules/regulations to overcome such congestions so as to save time for commuters and millions of dollars on fuel expenditure.

He has held some very important, responsible and prestigious roles at ADB Bank in Manila as a Strategic Planner, Infrastructure Sector Advisor to the National Parliament for East Timor at UNDP, as Urban Development Specialist at ADB Bank, Manila and among other significant appointments as Urban Planner/Project Planner for Sasaki Associates in Massachusetts, USA.
