Rebuilding Kigali
OZ Architecture from Boulder Colorado just got the commission [bugmenot for password] to draw up a new master plan for the capital of Rwanda. Like many people, I hadn't realized that the 1994 genocide was taking place largely in a city. It's been more 10 years now since that tragedy, and they're ready to start seriously reshaping Kigali.
This looks like a very interesting and significant project. So far they are preparing plans for a new hospital, educational facility, and airport. Eventually they will begin work on a new central business district that is close to the airport and the old city center.
