Explore career opportunitiesTogether with our parent company Surbana Jurong, SMEC is helping Kigali to enhance and update the master plan created by Surbana Jurong to make Kigali a City for Citizens. Bringing the residents into a collaborative review process was key. A wide variety of communication channels including meetings, planning displays, public announcements, social media and WhatsApp were utilised to engage as many residents as possible in the feedback process.
We supported this review with new and enhanced information and data from additional socio-economic and demographic studies. This was an unprecedented opportunity to further develop the existing master plan with new primary and secondary data from detailed socio-economic analysis, household and market surveys, and modelling for a city-wide transport plan.
This is a key milestone for a country aiming to position itself as the center of excellence for innovative and inclusive urban planning in Africa. The new master plan supports sustainable economic growth and community wellbeing by promoting mixed-use development and efficient land use, providing for an integrated infrastructure and transport network, and ensuring equal access to essential services, housing, public facilities, open spaces and transportation.
