Visakhapatnam Metro Regional Development Authority Unveils Transformative Initiatives for City Development

The Visakhapatnam Metro Regional Development Authority (VMRDA) unveiled a series of ambitious initiatives on Saturday aimed at transforming Visakhapatnam city. These projects span across various sectors such as entertainment, science and technology, information technology, revitalization of urban lakes, and enhancement of urban green spaces. During a media interaction, VMRDA Commissioner KS Viswanathan discussed plans to implement diverse projects on Kailasagiri hills, a popular city landmark. These projects include an amusement park, a science museum adjacent to the World Telugu Museum, a rotating restaurant, and a venue for destination weddings. Additionally, deliberations are underway for establishing a Habitat Center in Madhurawada, offering spaces for theater, literary events, and a library. The commissioner announced the intention to invite expressions of interest from agencies to undertake these projects soon. Furthermore, a proposal dating back to 2018 outlines the development of an IT complex in Madhurawada featuring 31-floor and 14-floor towers, along with a five-star hotel. An urban entertainment zone is also slated for development in the same vicinity. Notably, plans are in motion to revitalize urban water bodies in collaboration with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, as disclosed by the commissioner.
