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 #የኢትዮጵያብልጽግናራእይshow more

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.

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 spaces that are reshaping the city itself. What makes the project especially significant is its broader economic and social impact. Beyond improving the appearance and function of the riversides, it has created jobs for many people across construction, engineering, landscaping, logistics, and related sectors, while also generating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and businesses. The fact that so much of the work is being designed and delivered locally highlights the growing capacity of Ethiopian expertise in urban development and infrastructure. The sustainability aspect is equally important. Once dumping grounds for toxic waste and flood hazards affecting communities along the riverbanks, these areas are now being transformed into greener, healthier, and more liveable urban spaces. At the same time, the integration of commercial and public spaces demonstrates how environmental restoration and economic growth can work together rather than compete with one another. This is a long-term investment in the future of Addis Ababa as a greener, more connected, economically vibrant, and people-centered city.

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT Housing developments across Ethiopia continue to improve living conditions for families by expanding access to safe, durable homes that provide security, dignity, and stability. While housing demand remains high, the Government of Ethiopia is implementing a broad set of interventions that combine formal housing delivery with targeted social support. In addition to ongoing urban and community housing programs, the annual Rainy Season Voluntary Scheme has become a key government-led initiative, mobilizing volunteers and public institutions to renovate and construct homes for elderly and impoverished citizens living in shanty towns or areas affected by flooding. Through these coordinated efforts, thousands of vulnerable households have gained safer shelter and improved resilience, reflecting steady progress toward inclusive development and improved living standards nationwide. #PMOEthiopia #VisionOfProsperity #የኢትዮጵያብልጽግናራእይ

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

Sometimes, we engage in actions without fully acknowledging their impact on the survival of communities and nations. One such action is the destruction of the earth's greenery due to economic and social activities, leading to extreme weather conditions and natural disasters that destroy life and infrastructure. The U-green program is an initiative spearheaded by the passionate Umeme community to rejuvenate the earth. Its goal is to reverse the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, pollution, and waste. By restoring ecosystems, the program aims to enhance production, improve nutrition, create a better environment, and ultimately, improve life for all.

Gov. Wes Moore on Monday unveiled a regional plan to remake land around Baltimore’s transit stations into housing, jobs and walkable neighborhoods — an effort he cast as essential to economic mobility. Economic professors and studies say the concept can work, but it’s not guaranteed. The Baltimore Region Transit-Oriented Development Strategy aims to convert roughly 134 acres of state-owned land near rail and bus hubs into dense, mixed-use development. The plan calls for nearly 5,000 homes and about 6 million square feet of new commercial and residential space, with an estimated $1.4 billion in state and local tax revenue. The concept, known as transit-oriented development, focuses growth within walking distance of transit, allowing residents to live closer to jobs and reducing reliance on cars.

I’m not from Telangana but I do follow urban development and this hate campaign against HYDRAA is hard to understand. For years, lakes were encroached, nalas blocked and public land grabbed. That wasn’t the outrage. Now that someone is reclaiming public land, restoring lakes and reducing flood risk — and that is the problem? Be honest — What would you prefer? Waterlogged roads like Gurugram and land mafia like Noida or a city free from both? Think wisely. From an outsider's perspective, HYDRAA looks like a solution, not the controversy. Shame on those who are running misinformation campaigns against such a pro-people initiative.

Tourism is a vital and growing pillar of Ethiopia’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP, employment, and foreign exchange. Since 2018, the government has prioritised the sector through policies and initiatives focused on sustainable growth, cultural preservation, and global competitiveness. These efforts, outlined in strategic documents, emphasise investments, partnerships, and sustainability to drive development. With projections to position Ethiopia among Africa’s top five tourist destinations, the government continues to invest in infrastructure, including hotels, road networks, and airport expansions, to support this ambitious vision. Among the many travel destinations in #Ethiopia, take a moment to explore in this short video the unique offerings of Arbaminch. #PMOEthiopia

The Govt of India approved Gudebellur–Mahabubnagar section on NH-167 in Telangana is set to become a key driver of regional growth, strengthening connectivity between important economic and religious centres along the Hyderabad–Panaji Economic Corridor. The upgraded access-controlled corridor will enable smoother movement of goods and passengers, reduce logistics costs, and enhance trade, industry, and local enterprise development across the region. Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji, this transformative infrastructure push reflects the Government’s unwavering commitment to modern highways, faster logistics, and balanced regional development. Beyond improved connectivity, the project is expected to generate substantial employment opportunities and fuel economic activity in surrounding towns and rural areas — advancing inclusive, sustainable growth and contributing meaningfully to #ViksitBharat.

Urban Growth with Vision: Laying the Path for 50 Years Ahead! Chaired a meeting on financial planning of statewide urban infrastructure and civic amenities projects under the Maharashtra Urban Infrastructure Fund (MUINFRA). While reviewing the meeting, expressed that long-term planning is essential for basic services such as sewage, drainage, solid waste management and water supply in our cities. Separate plans must be prepared for each sector, focusing not only on funding but also on resource planning. Also highlighted that projects must not stall due to lack of funds and sufficient arrangements should be made to ensure their completion. Local bodies must receive financial support and the facilities created must be effectively monitored. Urban development is not just about constructing buildings, but a process that drives social and economic progress. For the growth of urban infrastructure, we must adopt a unified framework, long-term planning and proper use of funds. The choices we make today will shape our cities for the next 50 years and every project must be undertaken with that future in mind. Abedalrazq Khalil, World Bank Task Force Urban Development, Resilience and Land Practice Manager for the South Asia Region and other concerned officials were present.

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.

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.

VIDEO | Kolkata: Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul says, "We have taken 2-3 important decisions. In our Urban Development and Municipal Affairs departments, we have taken the principle decision that parking on both sides of the road, which has continued illegally for 15 years, will now be regulated. Parking will be allowed only on the designated side of the road, while parking on the other side will not be permitted. Secondly, parking fees are being collected illegally in parking lots, and taxes from these collections are not being paid to the government. These illegal collections must be stopped immediately so that the entire tax amount goes to the government. Also, the helpline number was not only a women’s helpline number; it was a child helpline number. The same number should now be integrated as a women’s helpline number as well. If anyone faces any problem, both the women’s helpline and child helpline numbers should remain active. In both the Women and Child department and the Urban Development and Municipal Affairs department, a call centre should be set up so that the public can call these two departments and share their issues and grievances. She adds, "Lastly, wherever there is pollution, we have seen over the last 15 years in Bengal, in Kolkata and Asansol, that garbage is lying everywhere and is not being cleaned. Now this responsibility is also being given to the public through geotagging. We have developed an app where people can send geotagged pictures, and within two hours the corporation or municipality will come and clean the area. But along with this, I also need the cooperation of the public. We should not throw garbage on the roads. Prevention is better than cure. Of course, cleaning is our responsibility, but we must also remain conscious about littering on roads..."
