Projektbeschreibung online

In urban design and planning, the street is considered as initial to any urban activity like transport, exchange of goods and people while at the same time bearing the invisible arteria for any city’s public infrastructure like energy, water or waste. Thus, for the development of new towns in Africa's rapidly urbanizing regions the understanding of material flows and circulation within the urban system is crucial when it comes about any building activity that determines the urban form and what we finally perceive as an appropriate living environment. At the same time, the building activities intervene into the natural household, easily visible through the consumption of land and resources. Well-balanced models that consider both the requirements of urban amenities and a sustainable approach for a future rural-urban development still seem to be more ideal than real.

In this study project, students applied tools and methods for spatial and resource analysis and finally implemented that knowledge in development scenarios. The findings make visible the opportunities and limitations of such "growth concepts" for disciplines concerned with urban development, taking into account environmental, social and economic factors for the development of small cities in Ethiopia.

The study project is contributing to IN³ - Integrated Infrastructure - A Planning Strategy for Sustainable and Resilient Spatial Structures in Emerging Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
