Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called upon the Singapore Housing Development Board (HDB) to collaborate in the State’s upcoming urban housing projects, especially in Amaravati. He observed that Singapore had already provided a master plan for the capital city and noted that the World Bank is also participating in the construction process.

The appeal came during the second day of his official visit to Singapore on Monday (July 28, 2025), where Mr. Naidu and his delegation toured the acclaimed Bidadari Estate, a large-scale public housing project designed to house more than 10,000 families. The 250-acre project, developed under the “City in a Garden” concept, impressed the visiting delegation with its sustainable design, environmental sensitivity, and community-oriented layout.
Officials from the Singapore Housing Development Board and the Urban Redevelopment Authority explained to the Chief Minister how the project was developed without harming natural water resources or cutting down trees, offering valuable insights into environmentally conscious construction. A cremation ground in the area had also been transformed into a vibrant public park, reflecting Singapore’s innovative urban planning ethos.
