Spatial Planning
The project’s goal was to undertake a comparative assessment of the spatial planning approaches and Land Use Land Cover Changes (LULC). Its other objective was to encourage synergistic planning between ports and cities that consider socio-economic aspects.
This project was a result of port development, expansion and changing patterns of urban sprawl in three cities in the Western Indian Ocean - Moroni, Mombasa and Durban. It followed a simplified analytical framework that facilitates the spatial planning of climate-smart and resilient port cities.
The Impact
The Impact
- Development of land use survey profiles for Mombasa, Durban and Moroni

- Spatial and temporal (period) analysis of land cover change in Moroni, Durban and Mombasa
- Port and city stakeholders engagement and dialogue in Moroni, Durban and Mombasa
- Establishment of Moroni technical working group for Moroni port and city planning

"Port and city planning is fragmented and the Bandari Bora project is needed to bridge this gap to utilize urban spaces for both entities to co-exist while at the same time protecting the environment."
