3. Management of change
The conflicting linkage between Stone town and Ng’ambo is a problem
that requires a new conservation management approach for the former
and new ideas of strategy of development for the latter. It was for that
reason that the methodologies proposed by the HUL approach to
enhance spatial and social continuity was very welcomed. As the new
Master Plan of Zanzibar town (Zans-Plan, 2015) designated N’gambo
to be a new City Centre, the challenge has been to create continuity
between the City centre and Stone town. Hence, implementing HUL
approach for the development of Ng’ambo is safeguarding the OUV
of Stone Town through spatial planning. The Ng’ambo Tuitakayo project
aimed to look at the conservation and heritage management of Stone
town in a large context, by crafting strong connectivity, vibrancy and
inclusiveness of Zanzibar town.
