The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has given the green light for a $181 million loan to enhance the quality of life in the peri-urban areas around Ahmedabad, a city in the state of Gujarat, India. The aim is to improve urban living conditions and mobility in these rapidly growing areas.
The Ahmedabad Peri-urban Livability Improvement Project will involve several critical infrastructure improvements:
Sewage Treatment: Four sewage treatment plants will be established.
Peri-urban areas often experience high population growth due to industrial development and the migration of workers. These workers and residents often lack access to basic urban services. This project will benefit:
Migrant Workers: Workers coming from other places will also benefit from these improved services.
The ADB is not just providing funds but also expertise. It will help strengthen the capacity of local urban development authorities. This will involve:
Gender Equality: Promoting equal opportunities for all genders.
