NTU International has been shortlisted for the project: “TA-10059 MON: Preparing the Infrastructure Development for Green and Resilient New Satellite City in the Khushig Valley Area (56298-002)” in Mongolia.
Under this transaction TA the Government of Mongolia will receive support with the preparation of the Khushig Valley area urban development, which will follow the aerotropolis concept, bringing together and reconciling:
- business site & profitability objectives of companies making capital investments;
- airport & surface transportation objectives to ensure maximum access to airport as well as local & distant business sites at the lowest possible time & cost;
- urban planning objectives of:
- liveability,
- environmental sustainability, and
- social vibrancy.
As this will be the first urban development of this kind in Mongolia, a large gap in knowledge and capacity exists, where this contract, financed by the ADB, will come into play, so as to ensure the successful achievement of the undertaking. Accordingly, there will be 3 main outputs under the assignment: first, New Zuunmod & Khushig Valley urban development strategy & components identified; second, Investment project prepared & feasibility study (FS) completed; and third, Project readiness enhanced.
