Amaravati Inclusive and Sustainable Capital City Development Program

Proposed

The development of Amaravati is urgent, as it will not only serve as the new capital city for the state and a growth hub for the region but also as a replicable model for the rest of the country and other developing member countries. The program aims to support the development of Amaravati as growth hub for the capital region to boost economic prospects and improve living conditions of the state's residents. Public investments are needed for developing trunk infrastructure, public buildings, affordable housing, and to prepare land for returning to those who contributed to the Land Pooling Schemes (LPS). ADB, in partnership with the World Bank, will support bridging financial gaps for the timely, high-quality delivery of the infrastructure assets and services. In addition, ADB and the World Bank will provide global expertise and technical support to help GoAP the foundations for a vibrant and sustainable capital city in diverse areas such as urban planning and regulations, municipal governance and finance, infrastructure design and delivery, climate resilience, gender and social inclusion, and cluster development and job creation in an integrated and holistic manner. This will enable Amaravati to grow dynamically into an exemplary, inclusive, vibrant, sustainable, and climate-resilient city.
