Africa-Press – Ethiopia. The Government Communication Service (GCS) asserts that Ethiopia’s ongoing urban transformation is building a robust foundation for improved living standards and long-term national prosperity.
In a statement shared via social media, the Service emphasized that the nation’s large-scale urban and corridor development projects represent a historic shift.
According to the statement, these initiatives are designed to reshape urban landscapes while significantly enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.
The government is committing substantial financial and human capital to modernize urban centers and this investment aims to transition cities away from outdated infrastructure toward environments that are more livable, inclusive, and globally attractive, it stated.
The statement also highlighted that major infrastructure projects underway in Addis Ababa and other cities, along with rural development initiatives, urban renewal programs, beautification works and the preservation of historical heritage sites, are central to this transformation.
According to the statement, coordinated efforts in infrastructure development are improving access to clean water, better roads, reliable electricity, quality education and modern healthcare services.
“These efforts clearly demonstrate the government’s commitment to responding to the development needs raised by the public,” the statement added.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, extensive development projects have been implemented over the past eight years, with city beautification and corridor development receiving particular attention, it stated.
The statement also revealed that corridor development initiatives have been carried out not only in major urban centers but also expanded to 78 cities across the country.
The projects are said to be bringing wide ranging benefits, including environmental protection, job creation, improved urban living conditions and increased tourism potential.
“The corridor development has transformed outdated urban systems while contributing to climate resilience and creating a comfortable living environment,” the statement noted.
It also emphasized the efforts exerted to restore and preserve heritage sites while maintaining their historical value are also enhancing the appeal of cities and encouraging tourists to extend their stay, thereby boosting national revenue.
The statement also underscored the importance of sustaining these achievements through continued public participation and stronger collaboration.
