President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the government will soon commence feasibility studies and design works for Ghana’s much-anticipated Green City Project, a modern eco-smart urban development aimed at easing congestion in Accra and promoting sustainable growth.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the Multi-purpose Solar Energy Project at the Dawa Industrial Park in Agotor on Thursday, November 6, President Mahama revealed that the Minister of Finance has been directed to make budgetary provisions to fund the preliminary stages of the Green City plan.
According to him, the Green City will boast modern infrastructure, including an advanced drainage system, improved sanitation, regulated commercial districts, and dedicated markets, with strict enforcement against unplanned structures such as kiosks.
“This will be a new city that attracts investment and tourism. It will be a smart, green city with modern drainage, proper sanitation — and no kiosks,” President Mahama stressed.
He added that the project aligns with government’s broader urban renewal and digitalisation agenda, integrating sustainable design and green energy solutions.
“The feasibility study and design will begin before the end of this year, and the Ministry of Finance is already making budgetary provision for it,” he confirmed.
The proposed Green City will stretch from the Saglemi Housing Estate through the Bondase Military Range, linking the Volta and Eastern Regions, and will be developed over 20 years in four phases, with the first phase expected to commence before the end of 2028.
