The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a USD 181 million loan to build quality infrastructure and services in the peri-urban areas of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The project will help upgrade basic infrastructure and services and strengthen urban management to raise the quality of life of residents in these areas.
The Ahmedabad Peri-urban Livability Improvement Project will construct 166 km of water distribution network, 126 km of climate-resilient stormwater drainage, 300 km of sewerage systems, and four sewage treatment plants (STPs).
It will help strengthen the capacity of the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority and urban local bodies (ULBs) in technology-based urban planning and disaster-resilient infrastructure.
The project is also supporting 10 junction improvement work along the existing Sardar Patel Ring Road towards enhanced connectivity of peri-urban areas to Ahmedabad city.
Furthermore, the project will support land development plans and town planning schemes, incorporating these elements which can be replicated by other states to achieve planned urban development and densification. |
