3. Project Background:
Andhra Pradesh is building a new Capital City following the bifurcation of the state in Febru-
ary 2014. The new city is located between Vijayawada and Guntur and it is envisaged to be
a world class Capital City for the people of Andhra Pradesh.
Site Selection:
Considering the pros and cons, both from a design point of view and respecting the aspira-
tions of the Andhra Pradesh Government The SEED development focus is retained along the
southern bank of Krishna river in order to achieve the ceremonial and grand quality of the
axis, the government core functions will be distributed along this north-south axis with max-
imum concentration on the northern end. Neerukonda hill forms the southern termination
of this axis. To the north, the visual axis extends all the way to the Kondapalli Hill Forest.
Key points:
#Readily available land with minimal
development constraints
#River Krishna waterfront that is lesser
prone to flooding.
#Good natural setting with captivating
views of the neighboring hills captures
them as important vantage points
#Site which can economically contribute
in the future growth of the city.
#Good urban design opportunities that
can engage with the cluster of islands
on river Krishna.
#The need for office space
