Urban Services Improvement in Myanmar

Through an investment programme, ADB is supporting improvement of urban environment and public health in Mandalay city through better access to sustainable urban services, including water supply system improvements, enhanced drainage and flood protection and improved wastewater management. The EO project will deliver information required to support the efficient planning of the investment programme, in particular to ensure that climate resilience considerations can be effectively integrated into the proposed development. The delivered products include detailed urban and peri-urban land use and land cover delineation and changes at urban block level, a maximum water extent mask for the last decade as identified from the satellite imagery, the modelled water extents for defined recurrent frequency intervals, flood occurrence probabilities, and regional land use / land cover changes in wider area along the Irrawaddy river.
