First announced in 2018, Amaravati was unveiled as a city of the future, set in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Billed as a sustainable, futuristic, and idealistic new city, it was paused during the global pandemic, without confidence it would ever restart. Considered the new administrative capital of the Indian state, the plan was audacious when first announced.
Now, the city’s paused construction is starting again, including the buildout of some administrative buildings, and a 189 km long ORR, or Outer Ring Road.
Filled with innovative sustainability, inspiring architectural landmarks, and forward-thinking technology, the design will be something to behold.
The chance to build a new city from scratch is a rare opportunity, and it was given to famous design firm Foster + Partners. The 217-square-kilometer city will still take a number of years to complete, barring any further slowdowns.
