UK diplomat visits Amaravati, backs city's bold new plans
British Deputy High Commissioner Gareth Wynn Owen just dropped by Amaravati to check out how the city is shaping up.
He met with Minister P Narayana, who shared updates on building a modern, eco-friendly capital packed with smart infrastructure and better ways to get around.
V R Srinivas from the Amaravati Growth and Infrastructure Corporation joined in too.
What's exciting? Riverfronts, sports cities—and UK support
Owen was especially interested in the upcoming riverfront and International Sports City projects.
The city just got approval for a Marina waterfront along the Krishna River—think cool hangout spots and tourism boosts—all through public-private partnerships.
Plus, Mr. Owen expressed keen interest and discussions touched upon possibilities for collaboration between the UK and Andhra Pradesh on urban planning and investments.
The city is also undertaking land pooling for sports hubs, airports, rails, and roads. It's all part of a bigger push to turn Amaravati into a vibrant "blue-green" destination under Chief Minister Naidu's vision.
