Masterplan proposition
A metropolitan platform, not a town extension.
The masterplan converts the existing Masunga settlement into the anchor of a coordinated metropolitan future, concentrating infrastructure, services, institutions and investment around a legible urban structure.
Productive Edge
A productive agro-industrial and logistics edge powering jobs, trade and regional growth.
Green-Blue Reserve
A connected landscape network supporting resilience, biodiversity and quality of life.
Regional role
Botswana’s North-East: a new centre of gravity.
The metropolitan role is to concentrate district-scale civic, residential, commercial and productive capacity around a single coordinated platform.
Civic Administration
District services and public-facing government functions.
Urban Growth
Formal, serviced neighbourhoods around community infrastructure.
Trade & Production
Agro-processing, logistics, wholesale and SME enterprise.
Digital Operations
Smart metering, command systems and data-led city management.
Interactive concept masterplan
One legible urban framework.
The plan organises the metro into ten land-use systems. Select a numbered locator or a land-use card to read its scale and role. Locators are conceptual wayfinding aids, not cadastral boundaries.

Masunga Metro is conceived as a network of complementary urban environments rather than one uniform city fabric. The district system gives each major function a recognisable address while maintaining connections through landscape, mobility, public realm and shared infrastructure.
