A new state administration was set up to govern the new state, and the development of a new administrative center, Amaravati Capital City, was announced. The site of the new capital city was finalized by the Government of AP at a location of great historical significance, strategically selected given the area’s economic potential, good access to a skilled labor workforce and water to cater to a growing urban population. The nearest cities to the new Capital City are Vijayawada at a distance of 30 km, and Guntur at a distance of 18 km. The Capital Region, is characterized by strong network of transport infrastructure via rail (Vijayawada and Guntur cities have major railway stations), roads (the NH-16 and the NH-65 pass through the region), and a domestic airport near Vijayawada city (proposed to be converted into an international airport). Further, the region is located in proximity of a proposed sea port in Machilipatnam. The economy of the Capital Region is primarily driven by agricultural (production of crops including cotton, sugar-cane, pulses, spices, etc.) and service sectors (trading, construction, hospitality, etc.). The industrial activity in the region is limited to upstream manufacturing and characterized by disorganized industrial units across sectors such as food processing, textile, non-metallic minerals, pharmaceuticals, aquaculture, etc. Amaravati City and the surrounding region is also known for the perennial Krishna river, scenic islands and various religious and cultural heritage sites such as Durga temple, Buddhist Stupa, Undavalli Caves, Bhavani temple, Narasimhaswamy temple, Dharanikota, etc. At the time of the announcement of the Capital City the area predominantly consisted of agricultural fields, mainly with commercial crops. Amaravati City is spread across 25 villages in three mandals (Thulluru, Mangalagiri and Tadepalli) of Guntur District. In 2011, the population in the area was almost 100,0001. The Government of Andhra Pradesh directed the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) to undertake development schemes in the Capital City area and accordingly the Capital City Development Project is under implementation. The World Bank supported – Amaravati Sustainable Capital City Development Project – ASCCDP (the project) – is aimed at providing select urban infrastructure in designated locations of Amaravati Capital City, and to develop capacity of its urban governance institutions. The total budget for the project
