Análise do ordenamento do espaço urbano na Vila do Bilene

Abstract

Most urban centers in Mozambique are located along the coast, with a certain regularity in their distribution from north to south of the country. It is not possible, according to MICOA (1998), to speak of an effective urban network, as these centers do not establish, in the geographical space, relations of complementarity, in order to present a functional life. The urban phenomenon in Africa, and in Mozambique in particular, shows great complexity, contributing to it numerous factors, including population growth and rural exodus, as mentioned by various sources. For this reason it is so important to take decisions in order to contribute to the resolution of problems in urban issues, such as water and electricity supply, basic sanitation infrastructure, health and education, accessibility, transport , employment and the improvement of people's living conditions. Planning urban centers is not just about considering their physical-geographical limits, but above all observing the plans to be resolved from the perspective of the region where they are located (TEXTO DE APOIO, 1998). In this sense, and if we consider that the increase of the population in cities has not been accompanied by urban development, we will perhaps obtain the answer to the many and complex problems that are currently posed in the cities and towns of Mozambique, in which the number of the population of the population The poor are increasing and the existing infrastructure is degrading.
