Project Intro.

• The plan will propose optimal spatial arrangements of diverse land uses including

• (1) a medical campus with five ultramodern academic specialty medical centers,

• (2) a research center for advanced science in biomedicine, • (3) a biomedical industrial park for the high-powered biotechnology in

biomedical translation and innovation, • (4) a residential community with diverse and mixed housing options and a

Metro Center for high-density mixed-use development• (5) a recreational district with a state-of-the art sport complex supported

by multimodal transportation systems and extensive green infrastructure, and responding to the local history, culture, and landscape.

Mission Statement

• The master plan of the City will be developed under the four main overarching guiding principles:

• (1) healthy living for all - HUMAN,

• (2) biological diversity and ecological integrity - ANIMAL,

• (3) sustainable and low-impact development - ENVIRONMENT,

• (4) economic and cultural development - ECONOMY

Site Analysis

Background Information

Kenya is a country in East Africa with coastline on the Indian Ocean. It encompasses savannah, Lakelands, the dramatic Great Rift Valley, mountain highlands and abundant wildlife such as lions, elephants and rhinos. From Nairobi, the capital, safaris visit the Maasai Mara reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migrations, and Amboseli National Park, offering views of Tanzania's 5,895m Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Challenges--- Illiteracy

• Almost 40% of adults in Africa are illiterate-two-thirds are women.

• Adult literacy rates are below 50% in Bein, Burkina Faso, Chad, Erhiopia, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone and The Gambia.

Drought

• The relative humidity typically ranges from 33% (comfortable) to 96% (very humid) over the course of the year.

• The air is driest around January 29.

• It is most humid around December 14.

Challenges--- Drought

Poor Farming Situation

• Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity.

• Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.

Challenges--- Agriculture

Strategies and Goals

Case Study

Future Hopley: Hutano, Mvura, Miti

Through territorial and simple place-making moves, the project establishes a landscape framework for the growth of Hopley Farms, an informal settlement in Harare. The provision social hubs that informal dwellers usually don't build on their own, become the centerpiece infrastructures that complement the future self-built city. A territorial growth pattern, rainwater management and an agroforestry system are linked to create a healthy community by tackling issues that plague Harare and its future growth.

The point between agriculture bands and main connections become social hubs that provide amenities for residents such as schools and sport fields.

As a medical city, the medicalcampus is the most important part which would attract people from outside and promote healthy lives in local area. So Medical area as well as residential and agricultural area will be build at the first phasing.

When economy inside the place is developed well, the commercial area, like markets and tourism, will attract people come in. Also the agriculture system will be built in this section.

At the last period of development in this site, recreation and advanced energy system will be the fast developing part. At the same time, the whole city will expand towards north.

Transit Hubs and Health Data base Strategy

Anti-Disease StrategyHealth Information Database

Transit hubs connect urban daily excise and transportation, as well as retails.People in high density residential area can be involved into a whole system with agriculture, efficient transportation system and active living promotion.People can log on health data base when they connect to WIFI.

Section of High Density Residential Roads

Section of Recreation Road

In low density residential area, people can get easy access to recreational parks. Jogging and cycling routes are well organized with local vegetation around the roads.
