Fatshimetrie Kinshasa: Infrastructural revolution in sight
As part of a major project intended to transform the face of the city of Kinshasa, the Congolese Agency for Major Works (ACGT), under the direction of Eric Ngilo Makombela, recently announced the launch of ring road works. This initiative aims to establish a 63 km ring road around the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This work, which will extend over a period of two and a half years, aims to provide an effective solution to the traffic and road congestion problems experienced by the city of Kinshasa.
The construction of these ring roads represents a real technical and logistical, but also human, challenge. Indeed, many local residents will find themselves impacted by this project, with expropriations of plots as a result. To face these challenges, a commission was set up to identify the owners concerned and compensate them in a fair and equitable manner. The objective is to ensure that these local residents are not impoverished by the project, but on the contrary, that they benefit from it and benefit from it.
Beyond the technical and logistical aspects, the ring road works in Kinshasa have an important social and environmental dimension. It is essential that this infrastructure project contributes to the sustainable development of the city, by promoting the mobility of residents while preserving the environment. This is a major issue for the future of Kinshasa and its inhabitants.
In conclusion, the ring road works in Kinshasa represent a crucial step in the city’s modernization process. They demonstrate the desire of the Congolese authorities to make Kinshasa a dynamic, attractive metropolis resolutely turned towards the future. This major project marks the start of a new era for the capital of the DRC, and opens up promising prospects for its economic and social development.
