RESILIENCITY – Strategies for a Urban Sustainable and Resilient Development in Mozambique

About this project

The project aims to address environmental and climate challenges in the city of Maputo, Mozambique, with a specific focus on the Railway District in the Municipal District of KaMavota, in line with Sustainable Development Goals 13, 11, 12, and 6. Mozambique is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change, with Maputo, given its coastal location, particularly exposed to extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods. Population density and informal settlements further exacerbate these issues, putting the population and urban infrastructure at risk. In the Railway District, during periods of heavy rainfall, frequent flooding occurs, causing significant damage to infrastructure and property. The lack of resilient urban planning and adequate public infrastructure contributes to this situation, worsening the urban environment's health and decreasing the inhabitants' quality of life. The project addresses these urgent needs through a series of targeted interventions aimed at contributing to the development of positive economic, social, and environmental relations in urban areas, improving Maputo's municipal planning (general objective), increasing climate change adaptation capacity, and improving hygienic and sanitary conditions in the Railway District (specific objective). The resident population will benefit from a reduction in climate vulnerability through the implementation of innovative drainage systems, the construction of buildings using resilient construction…
