Towards a metropolitan vision for the maputo province. An agenda for an integrated and sustainable territorial development in the South of Mozambique

What visions for the future of the “Greater Maputo”? What territorial images and analytical interpretations we can build on to envision longterm strategies and political decisions to promote integrated and sustainable development? Moving from these questions, through an innovative methodology and a transdisciplinary approach, the book offers a tool-kit for reading and rethinking the Maputo metropolitan region, from the perspective of a more balanced and comprehensive rural-urban relation. In addition, the volume outlines a combination of key guidelines and spatial scenarios for a possible agenda for the sustainable development of the Province of Maputo, with particular attention to the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus. The book presents a selection of the main results of the research project “Boa_Ma_Nhã, Maputo!” funded by Polisocial Award 2018 - the social engagement and responsibility programme at the Politecnico di Milano - to support PIMI, an ongoing educational and research programme at the Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo.
