Megapolis: The City of Dreams
The much talked about Western Megapolis is being launched today by President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. The Minister in charge of the subject, Patali Champika Ranawaka speaks of the fifteen year plan designed to transform the Western Province to an economically sustainable state of the art spatial structure, with eleven different zones.
Following are excerpts from the interview Ranawaka had with the Daily News:
Q: What is Megapolis and how would such a project help Sri Lanka?
A: Megapolis is to simply transform the entire western province into a well planned enclave. Architecturally, when the population of a city exceeds five million, it is called a megapolis. A city is 50,000 less and a Super city means 50,000 to 100,000. So the entire population of the Western Province comes to six million at present and is expected to increase to eight million.
