Mozambique: Growth Corridors

This report relates to urbanisation as it is currently happening in Mozambique. It explores the present situation of cities and the government’s planned urbanisation strategy. It also discusses how the country plans to transition to a majority urban population. The report also discusses the impact of the urbanisation strategy on the regional development of the country through the promotion of growth corridors. To discuss this message, Future Cities Africa has selected three cities along the Nacala Corridor - Tete, Nampula, and Nacala - to explore current urbanisation trends and to highlight key challenges these cities may face in the future. This report relates to urban growth corridors in Mozambique and represents one of four reports prepared for Future Cities Africa. Each report covers a specific country, its national urbanisation strategy and its specific regional planning typology. The other three reports include metropolitan cities in Ghana, secondary cities in Uganda, and regional cities in Ethiopia
