Maputo, Mozambique

Capital city of Mozambique.

It is endowed with rich and extensive natural resources.

Since 2001, Mozambique's annual average GDP growth has been among the world's highest. However, the country ranks among the lowest in GDP per capita, human development, measures of inequality, and average life expectancy.

Security

the state of being free from danger

or threat.

City planning efforts were put on hold because of a lack of expertise and a limited budgetavailable for renewal projects.

Reason Of The Bad Security 1

Reason Of The Bad Security 2

High rate of illegal activities

News reported:

There was a horrific case in Beira where a 14 year old was kidnapped for a ransom of 1 million US dollars. His parents alerted the police and within minutes the kidnappers phoned the parents and told them that they would never see their child again. He was tortured, decapitated and dumped on the road.

Future Plan 1Use the city’s available funds or current assets effectively:

• Spend money on learning new knowledge

• Imitate other countries and think of new ideas.

• As a result, the city can provide a more complete facilities to ensure the security.

Future Plan 2

Investment

Find out the way to obtain more current assets, such as invest others country shares or fixed assets.

Future Plan 3

Using high-tech security

• Compulsory for all homes / offices to use

this so we can reduce the risk of burglary

and other crimes.

Water and Waste

Management

Waste management

oA basic requirement of ecologically sustainable

development.

o It involves:

- Monitoring

- Collection

- Transport

- Processing

- Disposal of waste materials

Effective waste management

• Creation of cleaner

• Less wasteful

• More sustainable society

Aims :

• Control pollution of land, air, water and sediment

• Conserve resources of water, energy, raw materials and

nutrients

• Enhance business performance and maintain cooperate

social responsibility

• Improve occupational health and safety

Problems of

Waste Management

Waste is piling up in the outskirts as the economy grows.

The smoke from burning garbage is dense over Hulene. It is almost 40°C.

Hulene is Maputo’s only landfill. About 800 tonnes of garbage is dumped here daily, overflowing the walls of the dump and spreading into the surrounding residential area.

Informal garbage collectors, nearly 300 in total, are scavenging around broken glass, toxic flames and empty drinks cans.

Water Management

•The activity of planning, developing,

distributing and managing the optimum

use of water resources.

Water Pollution Problem

• The blooming of cyanobacteria is a serious pollution

problem because many species of these bacteria produce

toxic components, so-called cyanotoxins.

• A higher incidence of cyanobacteria has been

detected in drinking water reservoirs.

• Bacteria cells and dissolved toxins can be

found in the drinking water.

• They can have a negative effect

on human health.

Solution of Waste Management

Recycling of urban solid waste

• reduces the amount of waste to be buried

• increases the useful life of landfills

• saves energy in productive processes

• reduces air and water pollution

• reduces the levels of crime and drug consumption.

Future Plan

• Set a National Strategy for use of wastewater in agriculture;

• Demonstrate the benefits (social and economical) of Wastewater use in agriculture;

• Rise public awareness about Wastewater use in agriculture;

• Assure the potential health risks are not verified;

• Promote the WTP across the nation;

• Strengthening the capacities across the nation to deal,

• Manage and maintain WTP.

Tourism and

Hospitality

Tourism

• The urban area is small and concentrated, with wide

avenues and old trees.

• People are generally out and about in the streets,

walking, driving and getting on with life.

• The vibe is healthy and active, with little begging

and lots of street vendors and markets.

• There is no heavy presence of police during the day.

• Provides a range of accommodations, from five-star

hotels to comfortable backpackers' hostels with

reasonable options.

Hospitality• Accommodation in Maputo includes Portuguese

hospitality.

• Portuguese is a language spoken by the locals, much

of the country's cuisine offered at some of the best

accommodation in Maputo as well as at the city's

restaurants and street cafés has a Portuguese

influence. • The Southern Sun Maputo

hotel is an example of top

accommodation in Maputo.

Future Plan 1

• Giving an education on expertise

Due to the economy, some people might have not given opportunities to be educated. Therefore, I suggest that government should at least give them some basic knowledge on expertise in order to achieve better future plans as soon as possible.

Future Plan 2

• Managing and organizing budget well

Plan well and make sure that the

government is not running out of

budget and consider of everything

before making the first step.

Transport, Energy

Management and Disaster

Relief

Disaster Issues

In 2000 and 2001, floods had affected about a

quarter of the population and destroyed much of

its infrastructure.

In 2002, a severe drought hit many parts of the

city. Poverty remains widespread, with more than

50% of the citizens living on less than $1 a day.

Future Plan on Disaster Relief

• Reduce the impact of disasters through the

development of policies and programming.

• Encourage countries to incorporate climate

change adaptation needs into their poverty

reduction strategies.

Energy Management

• Approximately 14% of the

country has access to electricity.

• The majority of electried households live in urban

areas, with only around 5% of rural people having

access to electricity.

Imbalance energy supplies

Future Plan on

Energy Management

• Use natural resources to generate energy.

• Discover underground fuels such as

coals, oil and gas to generate more

electricity to the whole city.

Reason of

transportation problem

High urban population growth rates

• The population grew dramatically but the infrastructures have developed slowly.

• Migration is the main factor of this problem.

Future plan on

Transportation

Emphasize on public transportation system

• City authorities should invest more on public

transportation to reduce traffic jams and

overcrowded situation.

• Create and provide new

public transport vehicles.

Future plan of train system

- Operating on city main

streets

Water public transport- Reduce road traffic jams

and save spaces

THE AIM OF GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL

• Maximise living space with adequate parking,

cost effective design and materials

• Efficient construction using resources responsibly

• Design must be adaptable for all citizens

• Environmentally responsible building and

operations

Greenization program

• Using plants and trees through green roofs,

rain gardens , and reduction of rainwater run

off

• Using low impact building

materials or using packed

gravel or permeable concrete

instead of conventional

concrete or asphalt to enhance

replenishment of ground

water

•Building is made from sustainable and

energy- saving materials , from energy

efficient computer and lighting systems

to non-toxic cleaning materials.

• Green building have better

capital values, higher

occupancy rates and lower

rental comparing to the non-
