Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is currently working on the action plan to come up with about 3 Mega Cities and 14 Smart Cities in the new state.

Apparently, Vizag, Vijayawada and Tirupati will be developed as Mega Cities. This means each of the regions (Uttar Andhra [Visakha, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam), Remaining 6 Coastal Districts [East, West, Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam, Nellore] and Rayalseema [Chittoor, Kurnool, Anantapur, Kadapa) will have a Mega city each!  On the other hand, Towns under 14 Municipal Corporations will be converted into Smart Cities.
