Yangon City Development Plans 2013-2020 PDF

Yangon City Development Plans 2013-2020Digging through a stack of local newspapers I bought on my last trip to Yangon I ran across this city plan for the development of Yangon, inclusive or ring roads, green belts and flyover highways connecting west Yangon to the Thilawa Special Economic Zone.

Witnessing the changes first hand visiting Yangon over the last nine months, I believe that the 2020 completion date is overly optimistic. Plans are implemented at a slower pace than most investors are willing to wait for as most government ministers do not want to take a firm stance on anything because if they are on the wrong side they are replaced. Silence, delaying deals and non-decision making are golden rules in Yangon from the government end.
