Addis Ababa’s Riverside Development is far more than a riverbank beautification project. From the Entoto to Peacock corridor to the Entoto–Kebena stretch, this is a large-scale urban transformation that extends up to 50 meters beyond the rivers, creating green corridors, public gathering spaces, walkable areas, recreation zones, and commercial...

The corridors development initiative reflects our commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and people-centred urban transformation as articulated in the Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda. Implemented across multiple cities beyond Addis Ababa, the initiative is improving urban mobility, revitalising public spaces, strengthening local economies, and enhancing environmental resilience. By connecting neighbourhoods and unlocking the economic and social potential of cities nationwide, our endeavour demonstrates a clear national vision: building liveable, competitive, and inclusive cities that support balanced development and shared prosperity across Ethiopia.

We are focusing on developing blue and green infrastructure across Kalaburagi city to make it more sustainable and environmentally balanced. As part of this initiative, we will be redeveloping more than 10 public parks across different localities, transforming them into vibrant community spaces with better landscaping, water conservation features, walking tracks, children’s play areas and urban biodiversity zones. Our goal is to create a network of open spaces that not only enhance the city’s beauty but also improve its air quality, groundwater recharge, and overall urban resilience. Here’s a glimpse of how Rajeev Gandhi Park will look once the redevelopment is completed in the coming months.

Riverside development in #Ethiopia is guided by a comprehensive vision that goes beyond simply treating or restoring river streams. The approach focuses on integrated infrastructure development along riverbanks, with buffer zones that may extend beyond or fall within 50 meters on each side depending on the area and local conditions. By organizing land use within these corridors, the initiative aims to reduce pollution and flood risks, restore ecosystems, and create public spaces, mobility networks, and economic opportunities. This flexible and holistic strategy is transforming riverbanks into well-managed, productive, and livable environments that support sustainable urban growth and community well-being. #PMOEthiopia #VisionOfProsperity #የኢትዮጵያብልጽግናራእይ

UN urban indicators highlight the access to public open spaces as an important part of urban quality of life, including the percentage of households living within a 15-minute walk of public open space. In Baku, parks, gardens, and waterfront public areas reflect this principle in practice and align with the priorities of the Baku Master Plan 2040. They bring nature closer to daily urban life, support recreation and social interaction, and help make neighbourhoods healthier, more inclusive and more liveable. As Baku prepares to host WUF13, these green public spaces underscore the importance of accessible, people-centred urban environments in shaping sustainable cities. #WUF13 #WUF13Azerbaijan #Baku2026 #WorldUrbanForum

The development of the Anbesa Garage - Jukrose - Goro Square corridor has brought transformative changes to a once congested area. The addition of walkways, parking facilities, children’s playgrounds, shops, public plazas, public toilets, and designated taxi and bus bays has revitalized the neighborhood, making it more accessible, inclusive, and livable for all. Corridor development projects across both urban and rural settings continue to introduce dignified, equitable public spaces that uplift communities. In particular, our recent rural corridor initiatives aim to rejuvenate rural areas and improve the quality of life for their residents. I extend my sincere appreciation to the Addis Ababa City Administration and the subcities that have mobilized resources to expand the corridor initiative into the city’s peripheral areas. I encourage other subcities and cities across the country to keep prioritizing citizen-centered approaches as we reimagine and reconfigure urban life for the better.

Following the completion of the first phase of corridor development in Addis Ababa, the transformation of the Kasanchis quarter is one of eight major areas currently being revitalised. Once a neglected part of central Addis Ababa, Kasanchis is being reimagined as an inclusive and accessible public space. The redevelopment features asphalt roads, pedestrian walkways, bike lanes, children’s playgrounds, sports facilities, public plazas and green parks, public restrooms, commercial shops, and car parking facilities. As Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed remarked, the Kasanchis redevelopment is designed to serve the public both functionally and equitably. In his words, “The transformation of Kasanchis, completed in a remarkably short time, lays a solid foundation for smart city development and embodies our vision for green, clean, and modern urban centres.” This video captures the inauguration of the Kasanchis corridor on April 22, 2025, in the presence of the Prime Minister, the First Lady, and senior government officials. #PMOEthiopia

Infrastructure is the backbone of economic transformation, and in Enugu State, we are laying that foundation with purpose and precision. Our road projects go beyond construction. Through the development of Greenfield corridors, we are opening new routes that connect Enugu to neighboring states and position the state as a strategic economic hub. Projects such as Owo-Ubahu-Amankanu-Neke-Ikem are linking multiple local governments and communities, ensuring that development reaches every part of the state, not just urban centers. These roads are creating a gateway to the North Central region, with direct access toward Abuja, improving the movement of people, goods, and services across regions. The dual carriageway, spanning 80 kilometers in total, is designed to reduce travel time, improve safety, and support long term economic growth. We are not just building roads; we are building pathways to prosperity. The bigger picture is clear: a more connected, accessible, and economically resilient Enugu State for all. 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

Baku White City stands as a major example of urban transformation, reshaping a once heavily polluted industrial area into a walkable, sustainable and people-focused district. Designed around the idea of comfortable living, the development combines residential, commercial and cultural spaces within easy reach, reducing reliance on cars. Sustainable architecture, green spaces and public art shape everyday life, while local businesses and entrepreneurs help create a strong community identity. #WUF13 #WUF13Azerbaijan #Baku2026 #WorldUrbanForum

For years now, we have had to deal with congestion and the indiscriminate use of Douglas Road, Owerri, despite its status as a major economic artery of the State. This unfortunate situation has created an enabling environment for the breeding of different classes of criminal elements, thereby undermining public safety, order, and the smooth flow of commercial activities. The deplorable condition of the road further contributed to these challenges, encouraging abuse and illegal movements, particularly by motorists and street traders. Our decision to embark on the reconstruction of this strategic road is in line with our Urban Renewal Project, which is aimed at salvaging the City of Owerri from the looming threat of economic stagnation and reversing the gradual decline in urban development and growth. Beyond restoring critical infrastructure, this intervention seeks to create a more organized, secure, and economically vibrant city, and during my inspection of the project site, I could literally feel the fresh air of relief breathed by residents and users of the road, expressing their appreciation for the transformative impact of our Urban Renewal Projects. The quality and pace of work observed are consistent with the expectations of the Government, and I am pleased that progress remains on track for completion within the contractual timeline. - Hope Uzodimma

When people talk about UP's transformation, the focus is usually on expressways, industrial corridors, airports, or even the fact that the state is now manufacturing advanced systems like the BrahMos missile. What gets less attention is the environmental side of that development. Over 2 billion trees have been planted, more than 23,000 Amrit Sarovars have been created or revived for water conservation, rivers are being rejuvenated, roads are being built using recycled plastic waste, and the state's EV infrastructure continues to expand. Development is not just about building more. It is also about ensuring that growth remains sustainable and that future generations inherit cleaner air, better water resources, and greener public spaces. On Yogi Adityanath's birthday, it is worth acknowledging this often-overlooked aspect of UP's development journey as well. #HaritJanmotsavYogiJi

He took us on a tour of the hub that’s been transformed into green space in middle of a City. What was once an illegal dumping site is now a space for research, meditation, gardening, recycling and community gathering. We want to see all public spaces in Tshwane benefit from initiatives such these. Let’s Turn Tshwane Green! 🌳 University of Pretoria City of Tshwane

This morning, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and First Lady Zinash Tayachew, together with senior government officials, reviewed the newly completed CMC–Goro–VIP Corridor—a transformative project connecting the Addis International Convention Center to the Bole Airport VIP terminal. This newly developed two-way road network integrates with the Bole Airport connection road at CMC, creating a seamless link across a key section of the city. Spanning more than 290 hectares, the corridor extends for 12.74 km and 15.27 km of dedicated bike lanes. With five modern bus and taxi terminals capable, four large parking facilities and 17 designated loading and unloading bays, the project is easing congestion and improving transport efficiency. It also features underground electric and telecom lines, stormwater drainage pipes and new streetlights, ensuring modern infrastructure throughout. The corridor is not only about roads but also about liveability. More than 130 hectares of riverside areas have been developed into vibrant green spaces, complemented by various facilities. Over 320 buildings have been renovated, helping to uplift the entire area. The results are already visible. More than 350 new commercial shops have opened, business activity has surged, traffic congestion has eased, and public transport services have improved. The green spaces and riverside developments are creating a more pleasant and liveable environment for residents and visitors alike. #PMOEthiopia

I am pleased to announce that the Lagos Island regeneration project is steadily progressing. This is a direct result of the commitment of Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu Babajide Sanwo-Olu , to restore order and ensure sanity in our environment across the state. From drainage upgrades to the clearing of illegal structures and the transformation of under-bridge spaces, we are seeing visible improvements. Flood-prone areas are being addressed, public infrastructure is being protected, and residents are already experiencing better living conditions. This project is about long-term value. It is about safeguarding lives, preserving infrastructure and restoring the true character of Lagos Island. We will stay the course and ensure that every phase of the regeneration is delivered responsibly and in the best interest of our people. #AGreaterLagosRising

A capital city is one thing that either brings pride or shame to a people. This is in the heart of Harare, and it shows the economic degradation of our country. I do not know how my fellow Zimbabweans feel watching sadza being cooked in the middle of the capital city like this, at a place where real and structured economic life used to be vibrant and thriving. This is what one of the once beautiful and industrialised African capital cities has been reduced to. And this is happening barely a kilometre from the president’s office and less than 500 metres from the mayor’s office. A capital city should reflect order, productivity, and dignity. Instead, what we are witnessing is the visible collapse of urban management and the slow decay of a city that once stood as a symbol of possibility all because of failed economic policies. This should bring shame to every right thinking Zimbabwean, regardless of political persuasion. This man, and many like him, are victims of a failed system. A society that cannot create opportunities for its people pushes them into this kind of undignified survival mode. What we are witnessing in this video is not individual failure, but the real human cost of economic collapse and broken governance.

Ethiopia, particularly its capital Addis Ababa, is often hailed as the "Dubai of Africa" due to its rapid and ambitious urban transformation under recent government-led reforms. This comparison highlights the city's push toward modernity, with gleaming skyscrapers, expanded infrastructure, and large-scale developments that evoke the bold, futuristic growth Dubai achieved. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 administration has aggressively pursued an urban renewal and corridor development agenda since around 2024, accelerating in 2025–2026. Key elements include: -Widened roads and corridors Major avenues and urban corridors have been upgraded with broader pedestrian walkways, bicycle lanes, decorative lighting, greenery, and integrated designs to reduce congestion and improve livability. - Riverfront and green projects :Initiatives like the Beautifying Sheger Project have revitalized riversides with walkways, parks, recreational spaces, and landscape restoration, blending nature with urban expansion. - High-rise construction boom Numerous skyscrapers and luxury developments are rising, including projects like the 80-floor Awash International Bank headquarters and other high-rises replacing older structures. - Massive infrastructure megaprojects Beyond the city, Ethiopia advances the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD, now generating power), a new mega-airport near Bishoftu (aiming to become Africa's largest), industrial parks, and nationwide urban corridor expansions to dozens of cities. - Broader economic reforms Macroeconomic changes (e.g., floating exchange rate, liberalization in telecoms/banking, public-private partnerships) aim to attract foreign investment, boost private-sector growth, and position Addis as a diplomatic, business, and tourism hub. These efforts have dramatically modernized parts of Addis Ababa, creating brighter skylines, luxury facilities, shopping complexes, high-end hotels, and improved connectivity. Supporters see this as projecting confidence, drawing Gulf-style investment, and fueling Ethiopia's rise as a dynamic African economy evidenced by videos and reports calling it a "shocking transformation" or "Africa rising." #Ethiopia #africancreatorssummit2026

A friend of mine, Zayyanu Abubakar Gulumbe, the Special Assistant to the Governor of Kebbi State on Media, recently visited the ongoing Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway project. His visit provided firsthand insight into the scale and significance of this transformational infrastructure. This project is more than just a road; it is a strategic investment that will enhance connectivity, facilitate trade, create jobs, boost agriculture, and unlock economic opportunities across Northern and Southern Nigeria. It stands as a major step toward national integration and long-term development.
