Wissing werkt momenteel 3 van de 10 follow up projecten van het Beira Masterplan Mozambique uit. Zo ontwerpen we een uitbreidingsplan voor het noordoosten van Beira, Maraza New Town, met circa 20.000 nieuwe woningen, een drainageproject Greeninfra4Beira waarbij we de drainage op basis van een groene inrichting van een bestaand stadsdeel ontwerpen. Tevens werken we aan de Lagune. De Lagune is een belangrijk onderdeel van het watermanagementsysteem voor Beira waarbij drainage wordt gecombineerd met een kwalitatief hoogstaand woonmilieu.

10. Urban Design
Starting points for the design:
 Building with the landscape
 natural patterns
 flow of water
 green infrastructure
 Design an efficient, but also beautiful urban environment
 High quality spatial framework for Maraza is organized by a public
space consisting the basic elements:
 levelling
 drainage, parks and waterways
 roads
 Within this framework of public space, the urban blocks are flexibel
and free to fill in. The design of the urban blocks can be adapted to
the actual demand

Urban Design- Drainage and 3Di

13. Chota-Maraza: characteristics of the topography
 The 3Di is modelled by
 the project location
 existing surrounding
urban areas
 The 3Di modelling showed
that the area reserved for
drainage (around 50-55
hectares) is needed in
order to drain the urban
areas during heavy
rainfall.
