Structure Plan Aligns With National Development Goals
The Ibri Structure Plan provides a comprehensive framework for urban expansion, will regulate land use and supports demographic and economic growth. It aligns with national priorities and sets out an ambitious vision to transform Ibri into a fully integrated regional city. Further goals include diversifying its economic base and establishing specialised clusters in industry, agriculture, services and tourism.
