Novos Espaços Urbanos - New Urban Spaces

Georg präsentiert Requalificação Urbana 2.0

A basic factor for fighting poverty in the rural areas in Mozambique (and many other african countries) is to strengthen the small and medium cities, as these cities are important fix-points for the large rural areas around them, and these cities are already in a leading role for growth and development. (compare: Susan Parnell, African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town)

One of the most urgent and important work that has to be done within these cities today is to develop and improve the public basic infrastructure. (e.g. roads, access to clean water and energy / electricity, to name only a few important aspects)

According to this, it is one of the basic questions for the area of Urban Design and Urban Planning how to plan the basic infrastructure for small and medium cities in Mozambique? At a meeting of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIC) in Chimoio in March 2011, it was also this question that has been discussed by the participants.
