FUTURE FIT BAMENDA
Planning for the City We Are Becoming, Not the Town We Once Were
As Bamenda undergoes major infrastructure transformation, this Hilltopvoices series explores how the city can evolve into a modern, prosperous and resilient metropolitan region.
From roads and bridges to jobs, housing, transport, sanitation and economic growth, Future Fit Bamenda asks what it will truly take to build a city that works for its growing population and its expanding urban footprint.
"The challenge is not building the roads of tomorrow. It is building the city that those roads will serve."
