Cidade da Praia

PRAIA (Cidade da praia)

The Conference Program includes two Study Visits in Cidade da Praia, guided by Professors from the University of Cape Verde and other planning experts. It will be an opportunity to see and to discuss in loco the key issues of urban governance addressed in the conference. The first study visit is focused on the historic centre and in the new urban mega projects in the coastline. The second study visit is focused on the development of informal urban areas in Cidade da Praia and on the planning approach, developed and implemented by the municipality of Praia, for the rehabilitation of these areas.
