Nugegoda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nugegoda is one of the most densely populated suburbs of Colombo. It is one of the main commercial areas within the Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte Municipal limits.

Central Nugegoda is a collection of densely packed shops and mixed residential areas. This has contributed to a significant level of traffic congestion.

Nugegoda, similar to other cities in Sri Lanka, has not seen planned development and hence has very few public parks or squares.

[edit] History

Nugegoda was a minor village a few decades ago but has seen a high degree of growth and development recently. There has been a huge increase in buildings and a great reduction in trees and green areas. Agricultural lands (still present in the early 1990's) have largely been used for building and development.
