Towards a metropolitan vision for the Maputo province: An agenda for an integrated and sustainable territorial development in the South of Mozambique. E-book. Formato PDF Laura Montedoro   -  Politecnica, 2020  - 

What visions for the future of the “Greater Maputo”? What territorial images and analytical interpretations we can build on to envision long-term 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.
