The preparation of ‘Colombo Commercial City Development Plan – 2030’ is a collaborative exercise undertaken by UDA in consultation of relevant stakeholders and general public based on the ‘Strategic Planning’ principles.

Colombo Commercial City as a competing International City in the South Asian context as;

 - One of the busiest Maritime Hubs

The fact that the Colombo Commercial City is having a variety of water fronts, was perceived as its most significant potential, which can be harnessed to induce a positive transformation of the city while addressing many of its prevailing issues.
