Revitalização e potencialização do Water Front - Matola Rio - caso de estudo: área do mangal em Matola rio

Abstract

In the last two decades, the province of Maputo has experienced significant population growth. Comparing the last two population censuses of 2007 and 2017, the province of Maputo recorded the highest population growth in the country, calculated at 60.7%. Due to this scenario, there has been noticeable growth in suburban areas and a weak proportional creation of service infrastructures to meet the demand. With the centralization of service infrastructures, there has been a tendency to occupy areas as close to the city as possible, sometimes encroaching upon ecologically sensitive zones. Currently, due to the lack of necessary mechanisms, human occupation of sensitive areas is observed in the administrative post of Matola-Rio, in the district of Boane, in the province of Maputo. In this context, the Revitalization and Enhancement Project of the Ecological Corridor in Matola-Rio emerges with the intention of proposing solutions aimed at recovering, preserving, and enhancing some existing ecosystems, as well as densifying and better utilizing ecologically sensitive areas
