VMRDA proposes four theme-based townships
Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) has announced a project to set up four theme-based townships and cities in its jurisdiction. Two theme-based townships have been proposed at Kothavalasa village in Bheemunipatnam mandal and Sontyam village in Anandapuram mandal. The locations for the other two projects are yet to be finalised as the VMRDA is working on identification of land parcel for the townships. These projects will feature integrated, self-sustained urban clusters, each with specific themes such as IT & Innovation, Health & Wellness, Knowledge & Education, Tourism & Culture, Logistics & Trade, and Eco-Resilience as part of developing Visakhapatnam into a Miami-like bay city, said a joint statement by VMRDA Chairman M.V. Pranav Gopal and Metropolitan Commissioner K.S. Viswanathan. The key features of the proposed cities will have dedicated themes and zones. Each city will focus on a specific theme, attracting targeted investments and talent pools; smart infrastructure created with a focus on sustainability, technology, and citizen well-being; employment hubs to catalyse job creation and entrepreneurship in focused sectors; green and blue economy with a focus on eco-conscious designs, renewable energy, and integrated water management; and cultural integration, reflecting the ethos of Andhra Pradesh through local art, crafts, and community spaces. 'Visakhapatnam's natural harbour, good connectivity, and geopolitical significance make it an ideal choice for this innovation-driven urban model. The initiative is expected to attract domestic and foreign investments, generate over 5 lakh to 6 lakh jobs, and enhance the quality of life for the denizens,' Mr. Viswanathan said. 'The project will be developed through public-private partnerships, and hybrid models, with support from national and international urban planning experts, architects, building structural designers and many engineers from various knowledge sectors. Environmental sustainability, inclusivity, and community participation will be integral throughout the planning and execution stages,' Mr. Pravan Gopal added.
