Diamniadio - The Expected Hub
As the industrial / business / education / sport / R & D / macro transportation hub, Diamniadio is planned in ISOLATION with depleting blue-green networks, unbalanced and inequitable housing & infrastructure, segregated transportation, and monotonous development and urban life.

Challenges & Opportunities
Challenges - Opportunities
● Limited Accessibility
● Broken Ecological Network
● Underutilized Public Spaces
● Lack of Inclusivity
Summary
Limited Accessibility
Megastructure as Barriers Unwalkable & Uninviting Networks
Opportunities: TOD with Regional POIs, Diverse Contexts for Pedestrian-Friendly Networks, Community Needs of Accessibility
Achieve complete multi-model transportation system that breaks barriers and serves local communities. Develop characterized and invigorated micro and public networks under diverse ecological / cultural / commercial contexts.
Broken Ecological Network
Opportunities: Wetland Ecotourism, Waterfront Public Spaces, Multi-functional Community Spaces, Traffic Development.
Achieve greater integration of the lake with surrounding settlements. Develop commercial corridors to activate streets and ro ads. Develop parks and green infrastructure using exiting lakes, wetlands, and other greenery.
Lack of Buffer Zone
Land Farm Depletion (Flooding)
Broken Green Infrastructure
Underutilized Public Space
Opportunities: Large-Vacant lands, Diverse Cultural & Ecological Resources, Multi-Functional Demand & Potential of Communities
Build diverse and characterized strong interactive public systems. Promote community engagement and interactions. Full fill s ocial, economic, recreational, cultural, sport needs of communities with Activity Stewards. Develop rhythmic corridors as Attractors
Lack of Inclusivity
Socio-Economic Segregation (Housing / Working)
to Integrate the Cultural & Community Characters
Opportunities: Mixed-Use TOD, (Eco)tourism, Diverse Communities, Small Business Opportunities, Urban-Rural Interface, Institutions
Build mixed-use community-centric development. Break segregation through vibrant and inclusive hubs and corridors. Develop equitable incubators / SOHO / housing patches with proper incentives. Put importance on ecological and cultural connection and development.

Faced with Diamniadio grand institutions, regional hubs, car-driven design, and vibrant facilities, we must bridge the divide — unifying the formal and informal, the planned and organic, to craft a city that thrives in its diversity.
