Masaka Subarea Master Plan
Kigali, Rwanda - Africa,The Masaka Sub Area Plan scope is unique in that it is much larger than the other sites with two levels of planning, with over 4500 Ha. It included a Sectorwide Plan for Masaka Sector (290,000 population including a New Masaka City Center, existing Masaka Town, and four new Towns), as well as more detailed urban design for a Prototype District of the New City Center. The projected populations for these different areas are: 170,000 for the New City Center, 40,000 for Masaka Town, and 20,000 for each of the new towns. This Prototype District exemplifies many aspects of Sustainable Urbanism, with a Mixed-Use Core, eight Neighbourhoods with community Centers, extensive Open Space/Greenways, and maximum use of Sustainable Infrastructure. The existing Masaka Town plan highlights a Medium-Density Mixed-Use Core surrounded by residential neighbourhoods, a Medical/Research Center and a light industrial Innovation Center. This element will be located adjacent to the new international rail line and promote strong agro-industrial economic development for the entire Sector.
