- Description
- The Master Plan was developed with the objective of organising the expansion of the South of Luanda, formalized in a Territorial Planning Plan of Regional socpe, taking as its main strategy the approach of global understanding of a new Global City. With the challenge of meeting the needs of
- growth and re-housing, led by the rapid growth of urban concentration, where a total of 9.4 million people were expected to surround Luanda by 2030, this territory urged effective and sustainable strategies that delimit concrete goals of formalization in the short, medium and long term.
- In this sense Luanda World City will consist of a cosmopolitan metropolis of relevant Lusophone and worldwide dimension and capacity, which will combine the definition of the principles of territorial intervention at the different scales: Region, Metropolitan, Municipal, City and Neighborhood.
