  • SUMMARY SECTOR ANALYSIS Urban Transport
    Sustainable Urban Transport Investment Program (RRP GEO 42414-01) SUMMARY SECTOR ANALYSIS Urban Transport A. Urban Development in Georgia 1. Georgia has a population of 4.62 million and is one of the most urbanized countries in South Caucasus. Urban areas account for 53% of the population and they will continue to attract most of the investment, aggravating social and environment issues and stressing existing infrastructure. These trends require specific actions to create more sustainable economic development and better living conditions in urban areas. Tbilisi, the capital and largest city, has 1.4 million inhabitants representing 30% of the national total. Kutaisi, the second largest city, has only 235,000 people, highlighting the need to balance development and strengthen the secondary cities. 2. Strategically located at the crossroads between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, Georgia is traversed by a principal east–west highway, which connects the Black Sea coast and the Turkish border with countries to the east. The existing road infrastructure has been tightly intertwined with urban development in recent decades. Most of the main cities are located along the east–west axis, with another important urban region along the Black Sea coast. Most secondary urban areas are on each side of the east–west highway and tourism is increasingly becoming an important source of revenue for these areas. Infrastructure development has been prioritized by the government as part of its poverty reduction agenda. The sector assessment has divided urban areas into three groups: (i) Tbilisi and the adjacent cities of Rustavi and Mtskheta; (ii) the main secondary cities of Batumi, Gori, Kutaisi, Poti, and Zugdidi; and (iii) cities with high tourism potential such as Anaklia, Borzhomi, Gudauri, and Mestia.
