KIGALI NOUVEAU:
from Vision to Implementation
A presentation of and platform around the KIGALI MASTER PLAN.
Adopted by Rwanda
Parliament in 2008, the award-winning Kigali Conceptual Master Plan is an
overarching guide for all planning in Kigali. It aims to transform Rwanda’s
capital into a regional financial, business and entertainment centre for East
Central Africa. Dubbed the “Switzerland of Africa”, frenzy around the
implementation of the 2020 Kigali Conceptual Master Plan (KCM) has also earned
the city another nickname, “Africa’s Singapore”. A
keynote introduction by architects/planners from the Kigali
Institute of Science and Technology/KIST will explain the current changes of
the urban landscape in Kigali and the planners’ intentions. Local and international
professionals, KIST Architecture tutors and students (those familiar and
working within Kigali’s built environment) take a “walk” through the
speculative new city envisioned by Oz Architects (USA) and developed by
Surbana, the Singaporese planning consortium appointed by the Government of
Rwanda. In cooperation with the Faculty of Architecture and
Environmental Design (KIST) and the City of Kigali.
