Explanation

'Upliftment' is a recognized noun, particularly in Indian and British English, meaning the improvement of social, moral, or spiritual conditions. Since it is used correctly in the sentence to denote the improvement of the city, no change is required. 'Uplift of' is also acceptable, but 'upliftment' is not incorrect.
