DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND PERSPECTIVE PLAN FOR CAPITAL REGION
6Based on the regional context analysis, exis ng condi ons analysis and the socioeconomic study; a regional growth strategy is developed and discussed with the stakeholders. This strategy will guide the broad land use requirements and physical planning catering to the projected popula on and economic growth by 2035 and Year X (beyond year 2050). This chapter also presents Perspective Plan illustra ng the planning scenario for the region.
This chapter is divided into the following sub-sec ons: 1 Regional Growth Strategy 2 Draft Perspective Plan 2050 3. Economic Development Strategy for Capital Region 4. Demographic Projections 5. Workforce Projections 6. Population distribution 7. Key Strategies and Concepts 8. Action Plans 9. The Way Forward

Hence, the Capital City cannot func on in isola on. The proposed Industrial Corridor, Port development, Na onal Waterway and other upcoming projects will change the dynamics of the en re State and the Capital Region to a large extent.
An cipa ng the afore men oned scenario and processing the inherent strengths of the exis ng ci es, the proposed structure for the Capital region is radial corridor development. Key aspects are as follows: The Capital Region is divided into eight Planning Areas. A Central Planning Area with the Capital City and seven Planning Areas surrounding it.

6.3.1 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
The key fi ndings and recommenda ons of the above modules have been cri cally analyzed to formulate the preliminary economic development strategy for the capital region. In our opinion, the successful economic development framework of a region should be guided by certain key principles which defi ne the strategy that seeks to build on the strengths and the latent opportuni es present in the region. The key guiding principles iden fi ed for the overall development concept for the capital region are as discussed in Fig.6.4
These principles when systema cally planned and implemented successfully possess the poten al to transform the economic development of the region from a resource based manufacturing economy to a capital intensive manufacturing led region and gradually gaining prominence as a regional economic hub.

The capital region is a planned city and therefore it has the opportunity to integrate the cri cal parameters of economic and urban development planning to evolve as the self-sustaining urban agglomera on with state of the art infrastructure for living and doing business.
In view of the above, the economic development strategy for the capital region should take into account the key aspects highlighted in Fig.6.5
The economic development strategy of the capital region that seeks to capitalize on the hinterland synergies, latent opportuni es in the established industrial segments supported by the development of Government administra ve facili es, infrastructure development and pro-ac ve policy ini a ves to promote investment in the region would transform the region into one of the prominent urban agglomera on in the country over the next 10-15 years.

The Inner ring road forms a complete closed loop around the Capital City, ac ng as an expressway. This is supplemented by the Vijayawada Bypass. The bypass will be constructed at the same me as part of the Seed Capital so that it can act as a catalyst for development.
The VB is closer to the Capital City and forms a semi-circle shape through the towns along the city fringe. This semi- expressway serves as a relief road to the traffi c volume through the city centre and across the Krishna River to Vijayawada and the airport.

6.9 THE WAY FORWARD
The Capital Region Concept Plan sets the macro planning direc ons and the regional structure of the Capital Region. This plan will help divert investments phase wise in an organized manner. This concept, however, is not cast in stone; the plan will be reviewed by the CRDA every 5 - 20 years to incorporate the market dynamics into the Regional Plan if deemed necessary.
