City Overview
Vijayawada is within an interim capital of Andhra Pradesh, which is one of India’s administrative States. Vijayawada is the biggest railway junction in India and the fourth biggest and busiest bus station in India. Main problems connected to transportation are: traffic accidents, pollution and congestion. A rapid increase in waste production is expected due to population growth and high proximity of Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh’s new capital city, currently under construction) to Vijayawada. The energy generation from STP biogas pilot project in Vijayawada will be strategically integrated into mixed use city neighborhoods, to produce not only better economic performance, but also create easily accessible and safe working environments, healthy surrounding neighborhoods, and no negative impacts in the natural environment. The outcomes of the demonstration pilot will be closely monitored and will inform improvement/development of the national, state and city policies and strategies for development of sustainable and resilient cities.
