Central Government to appoint urban
design and planning to control spatial
development.
3. Establishing contacts and support network
in Urban Planning
4. Preparing frameworks for current urban
design initiatives.

4. Mission
1. professional volunteers (senior experts) transfer their
knowledge, promote self-sufficiency, entrepreneurship
and sustainable development in developing countries
and emerging markets.
2. numbers of entrepreneurs in developing countries and
emerging markets are keen to make progress, yet lack
knowledge and experience to do so. PUM performs a
role in providing them with the required knowledge and
experience.
3. is keen to be viewed as programme that contributes to
sustainable development of businesses in developing
countries and emerging markets, in effective and
efficient manner.
4. In medium term endeavour to develop into world’s most
professional voluntary organisation of senior experts,
with substantial impact on development of private
sector in developing countries and emerging markets
5. In long term, ensure that businesses in developing
countries and emerging markets have acquired
sufficient knowledge to become growth engines for
their local economies, so that they no longer require
PUM’s assistance.

23. 3. Planning and Urban Design
possibilities for Namibia
• Existing + needed spatial planning
• Namibian spatial planning policy / laws
• Urban + regional planning:
– German proposal for infrastructural Master Plan
– Should be integral with Spatial Master Plan(ning) !!!
• Ambition of National + Local authorities ?
• Ambition of Barnard Mutua Architects
– Introduction urban design and spatial planning as
advising office for Ministery and / or Local
Authorities
– Asistance and cooperation with Netherlands
experts and organisations
24. Possible spatial planning
• Namibia:
– Spatial planning law / policy >
• National plan for integral spatial
development
• Regions:
– Regional Master plans
• Municipal:
– Structure Plan(s)
– Global destination plans
– Parcelling plans
• Working in interdisciplinary cooperation
