The Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) is a government organization set up by the Punjab government to plan, manage, and develop areas along the Ravi River in Lahore and nearby regions. Its main goal is to turn the riverfront into a modern, sustainable, and eco-friendly urban area. It also works to deal with problems like uncontrolled city expansion, pollution, and haphazard development. RUDA handles tasks such as acquiring land, creating urban plans, building infrastructure, approving housing projects, and encouraging investment in real estate and industry. Through this effort, the authority wants to build a smart, environmentally conscious city that supports economic growth while protecting the environment.
