A crash course in changing the world.
This map considered environmental, land use, infrastructural, cultural, and socioeconomic factors, as well as economic and demographic projections, and outlined opportunities and
constraints for urban development. It is hoped that this Plan will help to
create a city that is: A symbol of the Rwandan culture that serves as an
example for modern Africa; A livable community that supports a sense of
belonging, cooperation and healing; A model of environmental protection and
which minimizes pollution and waste;
In sum: a model of environmental,
social, and economic sustainability.
This map gives a detailed account of the design and structure of roads and structures in the city. It also lays down strategies for combating the effects of natural hazards like floods.
Market evictions are considered a normal phenomenon, as long as they result from market mechanisms and are not “illegal” with regard to international legislation. Disguising a forced eviction as a
“negotiated displacement” is usually seen as “good governance” practice. It is
less risky, in political terms, than a forced eviction; it is less brutal and
accordingly less visible as it can be achieved following individual
case-by-case negotiations. Most observers consider that the very principle of
negotiating is more important than the terms of the negotiations, especially
regarding the compensation issue, even when the compensation is unfair and
detrimental to the occupant. Community organisation is a key element for
limiting the negative impact of market pressure on poor communities, as it
usually gives them better negotiating or bargaining powers. It is a
prerequisite for participatory planning and for the implementation of
accompanying measures in cases of slum upgrading or of displacement and
resettlement.
