Kigali masterplan, Urban Planning in Rwanda

March 22, 2011 Category: Goverment, Public Buildings

Kigali masterplan, Urban Planning is located in Rwanda. Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, has grand plans. Donna Rubinoff, the city’s Director of Urban Planning, tells a story of how the Rwandan President visited Denver and on seeing a city panorama from the top of one of the city’s towers was inspired to recreate his own capital.

While in Denver, he met Carl Washington who produced the early masterplans for the Denver Tech Center development, and who is now an urban designer at Denver-based OZ Architecture who he hired to deliver a conceptual masterplan for Kigali, producing most of their work from maps created in the 1960s.
