It was found that the Maputo Development Corridor, in particular National Road number four (EN4), largely modernized the areas it passes through (the neighborhoods crossed) and contributed to the emergence of new neighborhoods as a result of resettlement of populations, respectively called reorganization and expansion of the urban area of ​​the city of Matola. Hence, from the CDM, urban spaces were organized, as well as areas with frankly rural characteristics belonging to the perimeter of the city of Matola, and a group of small and medium-sized companies was created and those that already existed saw their activities to grow due to the appearance of EN4. However, the influence of the CDM has advantages and disadvantages, the advantages being more predominant.
