Addis Ababa is undergoing a significant transformation through large-scale urban infrastructure development aimed at creating a livable, inclusive, and globally competitive city, Mayor Adanech Abiebie said.

Speaking at the Italy–Ethiopia Infrastructure and Urban Regeneration Forum, the mayor emphasized that ongoing projects, ranging from modern buildings and transport systems to riverside developments are reshaping the capital and improving residents’ quality of life.
