UP New City: The Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh is going to establish a new city in the state, this city will be built on the Yamuna Expressway near Agra. According to the information, this city, known as New Agra Urban Center, will be built in 10,500 hectares, and it will be half the size of Noida.

15% land will be reserved for green belt

In this new city to be built near Agra, there will be a special focus on industrial units as well as transport hubs. To deal with the problem of pollution, 15 percent of the land will be reserved for green belt. 

With the new city being built and industries being set up near Agra, the people of Agra will not have to go far from their homes in search of employment. 

Please note that due to the Taj Mahal, no polluting activity is allowed around Agra so that the monument is not damaged. This is the reason why only green industries can be promoted in the new city so that the risks of pollution can be controlled.

This city will be built adjacent to Noida and Agra

After the construction of Jewar Airport, business opportunities will increase in Noida and nearby big cities including Agra. In such a situation, the population attracted for employment will need a city with good facilities. 

If a new city is not built on the expressway, then there will be additional pressure on cities like Noida and Agra, which can lead to infrastructure related problems. Keeping all these things in mind, there is a great need to build a new city.
