The first phase will comprise five village townships, two bridges, 26 kilometres of artery roads, 10 square kilometres of industrial estate, a power plant, transmission and distribution facilities, as well as a water and wastewater treatment plant.
The project hopes to create two million jobs. Its target industries include light industries and the manufacturing of consumer goods. As of January , the Thilawa SEZ has attracted a total of investors from 18 countries, with the majority involved in manufacturing. Yangon is often the first point of entry for most international visitors. The city is a melting pot of cultures and religions. It has a large number of colonial-era buildings in Southeast Asia and has a unique colonial-era urban core that has been maintained over the years.
While numerous pagodas dot the city, the Shwedagon Pagoda is the most prominent and well-loved landmark. Purported to be the oldest in Asia, it is the national pride of Yangon.
The city also has a number of parks, such as the Kandawgyi Lake and Bogyoke Park, and an array of colonial-era buildings. Yangon City Development Committee. Yangon City Development Committee , p.
