Project Title The Study on City Planning Master Plan and Urban Development Program of Ulaanbaatar
City in Mongolia (UBMPS)
Location Mongolia
Client JICA
Project Period 2007 – 2009
Problem Addressed by the Project
The population of Ulaanbaatar City has grown rapidly, and reached over 1,031,000 in 2007 with an average
growth rate of 3.6 % p.a. between 1988 and 2007. Utilities and other economic infrastructures in the city
were not sufficiently developed to serve such a rapidly growing urban population. The current master plan
of the city, formulated under the Russian planning system, started in 2002 with the target year of 2020, but
did not take into account such an acute population growth, rapid motorization and the expansion of Ger (Mongolian traditional movable house) occupied areas. In addition, the Land Act on private land ownership
was enacted in 2002, and the registration of private land ownership started in 2005 for the first time in
Mongolia. Currently, a new land-related legislative framework needs to be established for land acquisition,
land transactions, and land use guidance as well as for revision of urban planning-related laws.
Services Provided
Revision of the current master plan for the target year of 2030 that includes countermeasures against
expanding Ger areas in response to rapid socio-economic changes;
Preparation of action plans and various recommendations to the implementing agencies in order to
implement the revised master plan; and
Technology transfer to improve the implementing agencies’ capacity in city planning
Recommendations
We proposed a concept of a “Compact City” with an urban structure including: (1) Development of
Unique New Towns; (2) Relocation of Higher Educational Facilities; (3) Restructuring of Existing
Industrial Area; (4) Development of Ulaanbaatar Transit System (UTS) ; (5) Redevelopment of Sub-
centers Centered on Railway Stations; (6) Redevelopment of Sub-centers Centered on Railway Stations;
(7) Restructuring and Improvement of Ger Areas/Ger Settlements; (8) Protection from Flood Disaster and
Land Slides; and (9) Development of Green Belt.
To realize this, we covered development strategies, projects, and programs in the sectors of transportation,
infrastructure and utility, housing supply, Ger area development, environmental management, urban
facilities, and institutional framework including urban planning system, legal framework, financing
mechanism, and Public Private Partnership (PPP).
A total of 115 projects have been identified for the long list (toward 2030), out of which 50 have been
selected as priority projects. These priority projects will be either completed or implemented by 2015.
