The side of Africa they don't show you on TV. 4k video footage of Luanda city, capital of Angola 🇦🇴

Located on the western coast of southern Africa, Luanda is the capital city of Angola. The country has a landmass of over 1.2M km², more than France, Germany and the UK combined, largely covered with open savannah forest and dispersed settlements. Luanda is Angola’s largest city, home to 27% of its population, a figure that is set to rise significantly by 2030.
The city’s geography, socio-economic conditions, morphology, transport, infrastructure and environmental context have been analysed, and complex development scenarios tested, leading to the preparation of a sensitive and sustainable long-term urban renewal and growth plan.
Luanda is a city originally built for 500,000 people, now home to more than six million residents.
Luanda 2030: a vision for the future
The result is a plan that offers a new model for urban growth in Africa and elsewhere. It provides a fully integrated and costed framework, which complements or replaces prior legislation, policies and programmes to guide government spending. It also responds to economic challenges that emerged during the project by providing a focused road map for phased, prioritised implementation.
The strategy allows the city to embrace the natural context of its verdant river basins and sandy coastal beaches as major assets integral to its revitalised green network.
The aim of the masterplan is to establish Luanda as a major economic force in Africa, as well as transforming it into one of the continent’s most liveable cities.
The strategy behind the plan
Our integrated framework for sustainable growth required a robust yet flexible economic base. Building on the existing policy framework, a set of strategic objectives were established to accommodate growth and support the spatial elements of the plan focussing on economic diversification, managing demographic growth, balanced economic development and international competitiveness.
Our approach to develop an integrated vision also brought us to combine land-use spatial planning with an assessment of transport needs and solutions, applying Transport Oriented Development (TOD) principles to Luanda’s route network to improve cross-city connectivity, diversify peak-time travel routes and broaden the city’s land-use distribution.

While developing proposals for the plan, we never forgot that green cities are healthy cities. Our 2030 plan for Luanda seeks to clean up the city by transforming its watercourses and radically improving the condition of the marine environment. The strategy allows the city to embrace the natural context of its verdant river basins and sandy coastal beaches as major assets integral to its revitalised green network.
