DASUDA will present Msimbazi project at IFLA conference
VE-R, lead partner of DASUDA, is invited to facilitate a Round Table / Workshop at the IFLA World Congress 2023 to be held September 28-29, 2023. The focus of this engaging workshop will be River and City Park Design in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We will take this invaluable opportunity to share and exchange knowledge on the Lower Msimbazi Upgrading Plan (LMUP) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. By participating in the IFLA World Congress 2023, VE-R and DASUDA are excited to contribute to the global dialogue on sustainable urban development and foster collaboration towards realizing better African cities.
The IFLA World Congress is organized by the International Federation of Landscape Architects, attracting global professionals who want to participate in creating a sustainable built environment. The 2023 edition of the IFLA World Congress will take place in both Sweden and Kenya. The workshop on LMUP will take place in Nairobi, Kenya.
The selection of LMUP for the workshop is a testament to its relevance to the conference theme “Emergent Interaction”. This theme aims to explore ‘emerging forms of collective problem solving, networks of ideas and borderless strategies in order to find new solutions to the urgent issues of climate change, social inequality and biodiversity’.* LMUP address these critical issues while showcasing contextual relationship, innovation, sustainability, originality and quality of spatial design.
It also relates to all three subthemes of the IFLA conference by 1) stakeholder involvement on all levels, realized through a ‘Charette process’ 2) a site-specific approach, while also considering global effects of climate change and international best practices, and 3) an integrated approach through joint efforts of a multi-cultural (Dutch and Tanzanian) and -disciplinary team.
Josje Hoefsloot, representative from DASUDA and VE-R, will be presenting the LMUP project during the conference. Her presentation will emphasize the project’s achievements so far in public space design, flood resiliency, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) networks, and biodiversity. Long term collaboration with CDR International, also lead partner of DASUDA, has led to a very special project. We would like to warmly invite all our friends and partners who will be present in Nairobi during this period to join us in this discussion. For further details, kindly reach out to Josje, on this matter.
