Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has instructed relevant ministries and institutions and the Phnom Penh capital administration to continue the urban development based on two priority principles.

The priority principles include the acceleration of urban development by moving ahead of the people’s needs and the increase of investment in accordance with the Phnom Penh Master Plan on Land Use 2035; and each construction must be in accordance with the evolution of the economic and social development’s needs, said here this morning the Premier at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of twin flyovers at the intersection between Samdech Techo Hun Sen Blvd. and the National Road No. 2, at the border between Phnom Penh capital and Kandal province.

Moreover, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet asked the Phnom Penh capital administration to learn more about the use of new technologies that are modern, smart and highly economical in various physical infrastructure pr
ojects in Phnom Penh, such as the installation of security cameras, solar lights and automatic irrigation systems at public parks to make the capital city more attractive, luxurious and worthy of a smart ASEAN city.

At the same time, the capital administration is advised to increase the green cover in the city to reduce heat and greenhouse gases, especially in the areas where new physical infrastructure is to be built, and to work hard to promote the implementation of drainage and flood prevention infrastructure investment plans to avoid Phnom Penh flooding in order to make the capital more resilient to climate change.

With the increase of vehicles, Phnom Penh is currently facing a big problem, i.e. the lack of parking areas, according to Samdech Thipadei Prime Minister who encouraged the private sector to invest in modern car parks.
