To accelerate economic development in the whole country, Mandalay shall be definitely required to have important role as a national growth center with Yangon. To promote the required roles, it is urgent to clarify the future development vision, to formulate the urban development plan of Mandalay, and share the plan with the citizens. 1.2 Objectives of the Plan The primary objectives of the urban development plan of Mandalay 2040 are as follows: a) To present development visions and strategies with spatial and structure plan for the target year of 2040, b) To present urban and infrastructure development policies for the realization of the development visions, and c) To propose a roadmap of key projects.
