The 600-hectare city extension will build homes, communities and livelihoods. It is expected to serve as a model for sustainable urban development that can be replicated across Rwanda and the wider region. The first of its kind in Africa, the sustainable and affordable development will integrate green building and design, efficient and renewable energy, recycling and inclusive living. It will use homegrown solutions and local construction materials. As a result, residents in Kinyinya will enjoy the social and economic benefits of urbanisation while limiting their ecological footprints. Green City Kigali is an important milestone on the road to creating more sustainable green cities in the region and worldwide. African cities become the new home to over 40,000 people every day, many of whom find themselves without adequate housing and basic infrastructure. Sustainable urban development means contributing to a more equitable, environmentally just world. Working with an international team of experts, our plans address challenges of sustainability, affordability and viability, with culturally relevant solutions at the heart of the masterplan. fcbstudios.com/projects/green-city-kigali
