Urban Planning Team in Mwanza

The first work exchange of 2014 from Tampere to Mwanza is starting next week: Two planning specialists from Tampere, Janne and Hannu, and one architecture student, Natalia, from the Tampere University of Technology are spending one month in Mwanza. They will join their efforts with the Urban Planning Department of Mwanza City in order to update the Mwanza Central Area Development Plan. Natalia will finish off the work as part of her Master’s Thesis upon return. The work consists of field survey, interviews as well as collecting and compiling data in order to find out the actual needs of the community and to solve the rising issues of eg. traffic, recreation areas and building in Mwanza.

During this month we will follow their interesting experience in Mwanza through stories and pictures in this blog.
