'Virtual Amravati' to simulate Andhra capital development: CM Naidu

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday said European design and engineering group, Dassault Systems, is building a "virtual Amaravati" for creating development models for Andhra Pradesh's new capital city.

He said that the Andhra Pradesh Government and the French 3D experience company are working on the "Virtual Amaravati" as the world's first of its kind technology-driven clean and green city.

Naidu, who was speaking at the World Cities Summit currently being held in Singapore, said that the system will create virtual simulation models for the new capital city.

"We are going to position buildings, monitor air quality and wind direction as well as disaster management," Naidu told PTI on Monday, citing examples of the technology-driven planning and design.
