About Naypyitaw

Naypyitaw, also referred to as Naypyidaw, is a new city. Construction of Naypyitaw began in 2002 and the city was declared the capital in 2006. Naypyitaw is a planned city with different zones dedicated for different usages, many of the zones are for government officials or the military and these parts of the city are off limits. The city planners planned Naypyitaw on a grand scale, with lots of space for future development left between buildings and infrastructure designed for a much larger population than currently lives in the city. The best example of this is the 20 lane road in front of the national parliament building.

Naypyitaw is in many ways a city waiting to come to life. Pretty much everything in the city, including its few tourists attractions and major monuments, have all been conceived and created by Myanmar’s central government but for the time being the city has not managed to attract people to live there for reasons other than work. In some ways it is an interesting time to visit Naypyitaw to see the early development of what will in the future probably become of one of South East Asia’s biggest cities. The city has some pockets of what looks like a typical Burmese city and over time these small pockets will grow bringing Naypyitaw to life.
