'''Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA)''' is an autonomous body created by the [[Government of Karnataka]] under the BMRDA Act 1985 for the purpose of planning, co-ordinating and supervising the proper and orderly development of the areas within the [[Bangalore]] Metropolitan Region (BMR) which comprises [[Bangalore Urban district]], [[Bangalore Rural district]] and [[Ramanagara District]]. Since 2007, BMRDA covers an area of {{cvt|8005|km}}, the second largest [[metropolitan area]] in India, after the [[Amaravati Metropolitan Region]]. Bangalore has also emerged as India's fifth largest metropolitan city by population (also the third largest city proper by population). Unlike the [[Bangalore Development Authority|Bangalore Development Authority (BDA)]], the BMRDA does not have the power to acquire land.

== Chairmanship ==

BMRDA is headed by the Chief Minister of Karnataka as chairman and the Minister for Urban Development as vice-chairman; with various [[Development agency|development agencies]] in Bangalore, senior officers and heads of departments as members. The Metropolitan Commissioner is the member secretary. BMRDA plays a leading role in the evolution of [[urban development]] policies in the Bangalore Metropolitan Region and is expected to act as an [[umbrella organization]] for the planning authorities setup in the region.

== Area Planning Zones ==

The Area Planning Zones (APZs) are areas where urban development is permitted subject to certain regulations. Interstitial Zones (IZs) are the areas lying between the APZs; here, urban activities are restricted, giving more emphasis to environmental issues like conservation of forested areas, agriculture, etc. For planned urban growth, local planning areas under Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, 1961, are declared in the five APZs and IZs 1 & 2. The following are the planning/ development authorities functioning in the Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR):

# Bangalore Development Authority [BDA]
# Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Area Planning Authority [BMICAPA]
# Ramanagara Channapattana Urban Development Authority [RCUDA]
# Anekal Planning Authority [APA]
# Nelamangala Planning Authority [NPA]
# Magadi Planning Authority [MPA]
# Hosakote Planning Authority [HPA]
# Kanakapura Planning Authority [KPA]
# Dodballapura Planning Authority [DPA]
# Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority [BIAAPA]
# Area Planning Zone - 1 [APZ-1] (Excluding RCUDA & BMICAPA)
# All Interstitial Zones in Bangalore Metropolitan Region [IZs - BMR]
