INSPIRATION
- “Our world is 3D but most Physical development plans are still in 2D which makes their interpretation problematic to a less technical audience” (Lavigne, 2017), therefore realistic visualization of the built environment through 3D and 4D modelling helps to serve as a remedy to that problem”.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Downtown Butobere is the symbolic heart of the Kabale community, offering an exciting mix of retail, restaurant, civic, institutional, cultural, and residential and entertainment services.
The downtown Butobere 3D Subarea Plan is the final product of a multi-step process that was undertaken by Kabale Municipal Council through consultation with PRAID Consultants LTD to plan for and produced the structure and Detailed plans of the area.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Namizi Central area 3D Master Plan emanates from the realization of the extent of the previous Jinja Model Integrated Physical Development plan. It also draws its direction from the desire to ensure strategic and orderly physical development in the ward. Being one of the key wards in Jinja with increasing growth in terms of size, population, economic activities, public services, and trade, it became fundamental to have a guiding framework in form of a Physical Development Plan that will guide the area’s physical growth for the next 10 years.
The preparation of the strategic master plan is to address the emerging trends and challenges by putting in place policies, planning principles, land use site configuration, density and density concepts, and tools (physical development plan) for Namizi ward to address the urban development challenge. The objective of the assignment is “To develop a 3D conceptual design that will guide Jinja city officials and the landowners in the development of the land”.
