Ng’ambo Tuitakayo, the buffer zone we want

The Stone Town of Zanzibar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, exemplifies the transformative potential of urban conservation and heritage management in Africa. By adopting the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach, local authorities have redefined spatial planning to integrate cultural development with sustainable growth. This innovative strategy not only fosters inclusive economic and social development but also prioritizes environmental sustainability, offering a model for balancing World Heritage preservation with broader sustainable development goals.
