The Project

The Luanda Waterfront Project started with the vision to requalify the waterfront area of Luanda’s City Center, having Baia de Luanda commited itself with the Government to invest alone on that requalification.

This requalification was a massive and comprehensive intervention at different Levels:

• The Purification of the waters of the Bay

• By cleaning and threating more than 200,00 cubic meters of sand.

• The creation of a new water and sanitation infra-structure

• On a urban level, enlargement was achieved through dredging, wich allowed the creation of a new seafront, including a new 6 lane road and above all, enhancing leisure areas where are now:

- 106,000 square meters of pedestrian areas;

- 127,000 square meters of green spaces.

• The former avenue was converted into more green areas and parking spaces, with significant improvement to urban planning and traffic flow.

The public project has been delivered to the city in August 2012. Today, this area is already a big reference in the life of everyone who live in Luanda, that use this area to relax, play sports, and with the creation of new restaurants and commercial areas, to enjoy their leisure and social time.
