Commercial suitability
The urban village concept in urban planning involves the creation of self-contained, sustainable communities within the larger urban context. It entails integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in a compact,
walkable layout to foster community and social interaction. Urban villages
prioritize human-scale development, vibrant public spaces, and pedestrian-friendly streets. They aim to reduce long commutes, promote a higher
quality of life, and mitigate the negative effects of urban sprawl. By emphasizing mixed-use development, urban planners strive to enhance accessibility, social cohesion, and environmental sustainability, recognizing the importance of creating compact, diverse, and livable communities within cities

Promoting more pedestrians and cyclists on streets enhances safety,
reduces congestion, and improves public health. By prioritizing walking
and cycling infrastructure, communities can create vibrant and sustainable urban environments that prioritize active transportation, encourage physical activity, and foster a sense of community connectivity.
02
Urban revitalization plays a crucial role in transforming communities and fostering sustainable development.
The plan for the designated area involves removing old dilapidated buildings and implementing a vertical
village concept, resulting in increased open spaces on the ground. Additionally, measures will be taken to
address the pressing issue of river pollution, aiming to restore its ecological balance. This comprehensive
approach is expected to rejuvenate the area, enhancing its modernity, sustainability, and natural beauty.
The anticipated changes are set to bring about a vibrant, environmentally friendly destination for residents.
Open Green Space
Green spaces serve as vital connectors, seamlessly integrating commercial activities within a transformative urban village.
These vibrant sanctuaries of nature foster a sense of well-being,
providing respite from urban hustle. By harmoniously blending
greenery and commerce, they nurture a sustainable community, promoting balance, innovation, and a thriving urban lifestyle
03
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
The project endeavours to infuse the existing cemetery and public park, challenging African traditions. This fusion embraces inclusivity, forging connections between life and remembrance.
Through dialogue and reverence, it creates a shared legacy, where
the past converges with the present, shaping a vibrant future.
