Overview
The Master Plan
This Master Plan presents the guiding vision for Anam New City (ANAM), a new settlement to be designed and constructed in Anambra State, Nigeria. This document is a strategic framework that will lead best development practices over the next generation. As a new model for African development, this Master Plan provides an actionable structure that supports justice for both natural resources and human society. While the Master Plan will guide the immediate community in their current process of urban restructure, it also addresses a universal goal for self-sufficiency, and can serve two main purposes:
1. 2. To establish development principles for the new ANAM city beginning in Anambra State, Nigeria. To present a model for sustainable African development to the global public.
Goals
1. Establish development principles for the new ANAM city beginning at Ebenebe, Anambra State, Nigeria. 2. Present a model for sustainable African development to the global public.

The Master Plan is an active document, intended to evolve in response to continued research, policy development and the needs of the communities and stakeholders involved. Nevertheless, this visioning document will be used to ensure cohesiveness and continuity over the future development horizon. Therefore, this document is the foundation against which future planning projects can be evaluated for consistency; such a framework for decision-making will help support the success of their initiatives. The ANAM New City Master Plan should be viewed as general, actionoriented, value-based and long range: General: It establishes policies that anticipate the future through general principles and objectives, but does not address specific details concerning every issue or location.

Background
ANAM ANAM
A Brief History of the Anam Community

Present day Anam is a collection of at least eight small settlements in the region that all have traditional leadership councils and town unions, and who frequently collaborate politically and hold cultural celebrations together. As with many places around the world, these communities are more and more influenced by the global economy. Today as a group with regional influence, the Anam people have joined together to bring positive change to the lives of the people. They have initiated a movement called Anam Re-Birth with the goal of emerging as a reorganized Anam society that is more resilient through improved infrastructure, social services and a stronger economy. The new city project is one of their partnerships, and it is being led by the Umuoba Anam community, who have granted their land (Ebenebe) for the first phases of the city. While all the 8 Anam communities are motivated by urban land shortages and unsuitable infrastructure, Umuoba Anam is able to develop this area of their traditional land they presently live largely in the town of Otuocha (approximately 5 km from Ebenebe) where they purchased land from nonAnam people in the early 19th Century. In the 1970s, confusion over the land transfer led to conflicts, and now peaceful cohabitation of three distinct peoples in the small town. Since the initial settlement, Umuoba Anam has exceeded their population capacity for their portion of Otuocha, and find themselves in overcrowded conditions competing for already limited and insufficient resources. Further, the Umuoba Anam continue to travel by boat to their traditional lands to farm, and recent aquatic invasions of water hyacinth have made this journey an intense struggle. Realizing the limitations of the local and federal governments to aid with their situation, they depend on their local Development Council to spearhead the transition of the community back to their traditional land at Ebenebe. As such, the Umuoba Anam Development Council has engaged the Chife Foundation to consult with the community and offer recommendations for the design, construction and operation of a new settlement at Ebenebe. This Master Plan is the first and foundational document in that process.
1 The people of the Anam region come from a rich history deeply rooted in their locale and respective of the larger Igbo people of Nigeria, as documented by Gabriel Nnazor in Anam Tradition and Culture, the most comprehensive chronicle of Anam settlement. . 52

Though there remain key historical components such as traditional governance and family structures, there is a fluid integration with the State and National governing structures, inter-regional economies and modern social constructs. Understanding these complexities is crucial to the success of the new city. Therefore, much of the planning has been and will be informed by community meetings and regional surveys beyond what is presented here. Bound by the unity of the community, this is a landmark planning initiative that is driven and supported by the people who it will affect most, and whose hope is to create real change for their families and future generations.

Regional Context
The major settlements in close proximity of the site are: Otuocha, Onitsha, Asaba, Awka and Enugu. Otuocha headquarters the Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State. It is an important town in Nigeria serving as the food basket to the South Eastern States. Major communities living in the town of Otuocha are the Aguleri, Umuleri Anam and Umuoba Anam people. Otuocha has a viable market which is a major yam transit point in East of Niger River. Onitsha is a commercial centre and river port on the eastern bank of the Niger River in Anambra State. It is one of the most important Nigerian cities in the south eastern part of the country. Located on ground and water transportation routes, Onitsha is a gateway to eastern Nigeria. Onitshas major commercial products include nuts, corns, fruits and vegetables. Other significant trade produces include tires, petroleum products, nails and bearings. Asaba is the capital of Delta State, located on the west bank of the Niger River (opposite Onitsha) and along the Benin City road. The Niger Bridge connects Asaba to Onitsha. Asaba has a textile factory and post secondary schools. Akwa is the capital of Anambra State. It lies along roads leading from Owerri, Umuahia, Onitsha, and Enugu. Awka is an agricultural trade centre for the Igbo people of the surrounding area and trades in yams, cassava, taro, maize, palm oil and kernels. Nnamdi Azikiwe University is located in Awka.

VISION ANAM ANAM
Enugu is the capital of Enugu State which is the eastern neighbor of Anambra State. Nicknamed the Coal City in the early 1900s, Enugu became a major center for the mining of the coal discovered by Albert Ernest Kitson in the Udi plateau. As of 2007, coal mining is no longer the major source of income, however very small quantities are transported south by rail to Port Harcourt for export. The citys economy has diversified in recent years and is largely dominated by trading, commerce, and small-scale industry.

Demography & Economy

The people of Anam are predominantly farmers with large families (6.25 people per household) living in multi-family houses. While there is a lack of statistical census for the immediate area, for the purpose of setting planning benchmarks. Much of what is documented comes from a 100-person community survey completed in April 2010 in the Umuoba Anam settlement of Otoucha, Anambra State statistics and Federal Nigerian census profiles. The state population is 4.1 million, and Anam people are estimated to represent about 3% of that total. Anambra State is one of the most highly urbanized areas in Nigeria (second after Lagos State), a condition that provides an interesting contrast to the large portion of very low density agricultural land. Nigeria as a whole is rapidly urbanizing and the growth rate is one of the highest in the world. As such, demographic trend analysis shows an overwhelming demand for urban infrastructure and housing throughout the country. Balancing the significant demand for such a city with the actual capacities within the specific land boundaries, a preliminary population of 20,000 people has been established for initial planning purposes. It is anticipated that over time the citys boundaries will expand and that a larger population of 100,000 people will inhabit the agropolitan region. Agriculture and fishing are the two major economic activities on and around the project site. The main agricultural products are maize, cassava and peanuts. Beyond these activities, the Anam population remains predominantly poor in income but wealthy in land resources, providing nearly 70% of the agriculture resources in the Anambra State. It is the hope of the ANAM project to facilitate the creation of a more diversified economy for the region.

ANAM
Life for Anam people is dominated by the river, and the natural cycles that occur annually. These cycles exist first with the land and water, in the flooding and weather, and therefor impact the cycles of agriculture and harvest. Social events, such as festivals, and school sessions also correspond to the natural cycles as well, generating an entire culture that is in sync with the land. Yet there are some negative impacts to these cycles as well that have contributed to a more difficult lifestyle. For example, due to the heavy rains, many Anam farmers can only live close to their farms during the dry season, and have to relocate to stay with relatives during the peak flood.

VISION
Environmental Setting
ANAM ANAM
ANAM City will begin on present day Ebenebe, a rural site in the tropical rainforest belt of Anambra State, East Nigeria. Future developments will expand within the Anam Region, located in the low plain to the northwest of Anambra River. Ebenebe extends on the western banks of the Ezichi River and covers about 76.8 hectares (189.8 acres). It is bounded by Mmiata Anam on the north, Umueze Anam on the south, Ezichi River on the east, and UmuezeMmiata Anam State Road on the west. The project site currently consists of wetlands, forest and agricultural land. The only constructions on the site are traditional huts made of mud and bamboos where farmers live seasonally. On the western border of the site is a state road (Umueze-Mmiata Anam Road) that is currently under construction. The area falls within the Guinean forest-savannah mosaic belt (deciduous forest) of Nigeria with annual rainfall of about 1,400 2,000 millimeters. The climate on the project site is characterized by two main seasons; rainy season (March to October with two peaks in July and September), and the dry season (December to February). The rainy season is associated with prevalence of moisture laden maritime southwest trade wind from the Atlantic Ocean. This season is also known for heavy thunderstorms. The dry season is influenced by the dry wind blowing from the Mediterranean Sea across Sahara desert and down to southern Nigeria. This also causes harmattan, which precedes the dry season. The main ecological hazards on the project site are flooding and minor erosion. Soil degradation, rapid deforestation, flooding and consequent erosion along the riverbanks, have effected agricultural activities. In the peak of rainy season, high precipitation often results in excessive flooding, such that the undulations occupied by settlements are marooned for some months. The people use canoes and boats as their primary model of movement and transportation. Extensive wetland ecologies complement the farming activities, providing natural and seasonal irrigation to the plots.

ANAM
VISION
Community Approach
ANAM ANAM
Tall trees with thick undergrowth and numerous climbers exist in the clustered forests. The trees have luxuriant forage and the presence of climbers, epiphytes, bamboos. Persistent interference of human activities, such as agriculture and settlements, has affected a significant portion of the thick forest, limiting it to reduced portion of the site. Upon its completion, Umueze-Mmiata State Road will mark the most dominant structure around the project site. Apart from these major routes, there are several tracks running across the site between the river and the state road. The development of this state road was a dominant factor in the site selection process, as it will provide good access during construction that can compliment the aquatic modes.

The process for the conceptual and physical development of ANAM New City is based on an open and interdisciplinary approach that includes a range of research, consultation and open-source design methods. Rather than a linear progression, the process has been concurrent, iterative, and fundamentally an evolution of hybridity due to the unique nature of this project. The methodology incorporates phases that balance the many scales of influence as well as the diversity of stakeholders that will be integrated with the new urban system. Local cultural knowledge, site specific realities, international standards and continental concerns each informed the scope of research and final recommendations. The results of this process are owned by the stakeholders and open to the world.

The urgent need for sustainability today demands new systems of thinking and new approaches to problem solving new spheres of logic. Societies are no longer considered outside of or independent of the natural environment, and neither can exist outside of the influence of technology. The Logic of the ANAM model is the conceptual basis and theoretical underpinning of our sustainability perspective which lives in the confluence of three spheres: Sociologic, Ecologic and Technologic (SET). The three spheres together form a regime of sustainability in which all three interactively control performance, viability and outcome. Each strategy within the Master Plan is assessed by these mutually reinforcing logics.
Sociologic-Ecologic-Technologic SET*
MODEL MODEL
SOCIO
LAND WATER
SOCIOLOGIC: a strategy that is culturally relevant, collectively improves human quality of life and encourages responsible citizenship. A truly sustainable urbanism is facilitated and manifested through its social roots. It must be grounded in cultural heritage, both in practice and form. ECOLOGIC: a strategy that is a balanced and respectful management of natural resources that meets human needs, enhances natural beauty and mitigates natural hazards. The local ecology has been a source of physical sustenance, creative inspiration and a struggle for survival. These three experiences are independently significant but must be fairly and simultaneously addressed. TECHNOLOGIC: a strategy that is a practical, problem-solving application that supports resilience, optimizes processes (time, money, resources), and applies indigenous knowledge systems while advancing innovation. Appropriate technology facilitates solutions that are readily implementable, scalable and able to yield tangible results for the present generation.
*Economics, typically understood as the third sphere of sustainability, is excluded from this SET not as a devaluation of the global phenomena, but to advance the assertion that a system of production of material wealth is not central to, but results from the collective endurance and progress of humankind as derived from this SET. The model posits the Logical SET of interrelationships as the basis for articulating a truly sustainable city.

Community Development: Given that the attribute Anam people most laud is total unity of the community, the general mandate to build a cohesive community is the primary goal. Collective Progress: Community viability and unity correlate to human security and access to opportunity. If persons with shared means for self-improvement tend toward cooperation, then collective progress is an effective method to stabilize community. Cultural Heritage: The character and nature of all urban spaces within ANAM New City reflect traditional aesthetic values and spatial patterns. Culture should be legible in the image of the city, while building on indigenous knowledge systems.

Parameters: 8 shared values
Community, Equity, Productivity, Quality, Diversity, Mobility, Prosperity and Vitality are considered the eight shared values to maximize in the ANAM New City model (8 parameters). Together they convey a SET of general goals with respect to the nature of the Settlement, People and Mandate associated with this Master Plan document.

EQUITY
2: PROMOTE EQUITY Equality: The customary Anam practice of unimpeded production, protection and transfer of equity for all persons should remain enshrined. Platforms created to ensure equal access encourage active participation and value input. Shared Ownership: Anam community should act as stakeholders and shareholders with equity in the overall enterprise as well as component activities and businesses. 3: GENERATE PRODUCTIVITY

QUALITY
4: STANDARDIZE QUALITY Quality of Life: The primary driver behind ANAM city is to rapidly elevate quality of life to measureable worldclass standards and extend across future generations. The value of quality with respect to the new city should be broadly apparent in real and perceived quality of products, goods and services circulating and originating in ANAM; operation of urban amenities at international standards of quality; and standard delivery of high quality of life. Quality Infrastructure: Noting that shoddy and degraded buildings and environments devalue their urban context, high quality infrastructure and building construction should be demonstrated, promoted and supported by a culture of maintenance.
PROSPERITY
7: Propagate PROSPERITY Economic Growth: Economic success drives the viability of any city. Therefore, ANAM wi.. serve as a pro-business platform to support a culture of entrepreneurship from microenterprises to international commerce and medium and large-scale industry. Agriculture and agro-industry are of particular note for their prime significance within this economic structure. Promotion of a strong local economy will also be supported with intergenerational access to and transfer of assets. 8: Emanate VITALITY

DIVERSITY
5: Cultivate DIVERSITY City for Everyone: The factor of diversity can have a multiplying effect on the output of the city. In order to generate a dynamic urbanism, interaction and hybridity should be privileged over homogeneity. Thus, while zoning should be strictly enforced, mixed-use development and mixed-income neighborhoods should be encouraged. Resiliency: Diversity as applied to greenspace, urban design, land use as well as within demographics of ANAM New Citys permanent and transient population should draw inspiration from the ecological concept of resiliency in which greater heterogeneity of an ecosystem correlates to higher resistance to external stresses.
Balance: Comfort and health are among the most important characteristics of any urban environment. Since the preservation of natural habitats and ecology within the urban development is a key consideration, these same spaces should be used strategically to balance biological systems, regulate microclimate, weave greenspaces strategically into and throughout the city, and beautify the urban landscape. Creativity: Ultimately, this strategic synergy should not only maximize each of the above shared values within ANAM New City, but also crystallize as a creative nexus that allows for a uniquely vibrant urbanism that activates new possibilities by energizing people, landscapes and relationships.

Strategies
In Africa, access and rights to land is a critical element in economic development, poverty alleviation and security. Thus, rules that govern how land is allocated and used, and who benefits from its product is an important political and socio-economic concern. A secure right to land is often a precondition for investment and stakeholdership. Community All land is communally held and initially allocated through traditional leadership councils overseeing a Community Trust Fund. Land is viewed as a common asset and resource, usable by and reaping benefits for all members of the community. Thus, over time, increased demand for land, together with public investment in infrastructure, will increase land value and create revenue for the entire community and support additional public improvements. Farmers & Families Farmers with secure or long-term land rights are more likely to invest their full effort or make long-term improvements to the land, increasing productivity and their prospect of wealth creation. All residential plots of land in rurban Anam are sized to provide space for future building expansion, subdivision for generational transfer and/or small farms. This creates a greater social safety net and improves food security for households. Entrepreneurs & Developers A well-functioning land institution and market improves the investment climate where transferable land titles can be used as collateral in accessing credit. Because land is community-owned, developers own improvements only and agree to lease terms established by the communitys leadership council. All businesses are required to contribute 10% of their profits to a community trust fund each year.
Consistent with traditional practice, land is viewed as a communal asset and resource, usable by and reaping benefits for all members of the community.

How can we grow a new kind of African city in Anam?

MODEL
Starting with small beginnings the Anam process plants several seed projects into the landscape in order to germinate growth and innovation. In many ways Anam City can be considered a nursery; a nursery of economic growth, for technology and innovation in efficient and sustainable ways to live in Africa. Thus the city is not a transplanted population or an all-to-once construction, but something that will be seeded, planted, and cultivated organically over time. The urban design and land use plans have been crafted to inspire proliferation. Planting seed projects and infrastructure systems in distributed nodes they can self-propagate and expand, setting in motion a chain of reactions both physically and socioeconomically as new supporting housing, businesses and infrastructures are needed.

With the range of online and digital tools available for mapping, the Anam City design team has developed an accessible approach to converting site data into a workable design format. Engineering surveys can be costly and time consuming, so for a non-profit community-based project, purchasing a third-party survey was not feasible at this stage in the project. With a handheld GPS any community can execute their own mapping project for local development and planning initiatives. GPS data helped to generate existing conditions and to produce site adaptive urban design drawings based.

Land use planning is concerned with the allocation and arrangement of land to achieve efficient and desired development. Land use and zoning practices not only shape the city residents lifestyle and quality of life, but also have a major impact on the natural resources. Therefore it is the objective of the ANAM land use plan to create an efficient and flexible way to use land while minimizing the impacts of the development on natural resources. Another major concern is to create a pleasant and distinct urban character that reflects and fosters the unity of Anam people.

Living with Flooding

The Niger & Anambra River Basin is home to the Anam people. The eight traditional communities of Anam are currently spread across the region generally known as a river flood plain. For more than three months each year, this area is transformed into pervasive marshlands due to low elevation and flat terrain. During the rainy season, the region can receive up to 200cm of rainfall. At its peak, water levels rise can rise up to 3 meters in some areas and farmers are forced to leave their farms to stay at highland settlements with relatives. Roadways are cut off forcing schools, farming and other activities to be suspended until the floodwaters recede.
MODEL

The Challenge of Balance

Annual flooding has become a part of life for the Anam people and they travel throughout the region from farm to market on the rivers by canoe to conduct trade. They respond to the natural hydrological systems for their survival and have innovated many solutions for managing their resources during the floods. On farm settlements, farmers build flexible farm storage and construct mounds and hummocks near their housing for protection. The wetland condition resulting from the floods are a critical contributor to regional biodiversity and ecological strength. The seasonal floodwaters serve as natural irrigation and deposits nutrient-rich sediments on to farmlands. However, increasing population and urbanization creates pressure on the hydrologic system in this riverine area. Conventional development causes wetland areas to be reduced, which damages water supply and quality. A depleted flood plain also increases risk of flooding in other areas of the region as water rushes in during the rainy season and as water levels rise in response to global climate change.
WATER WATER SOCIAL ECONOMY
JUN: rainy season starts
A Community Wide Response

While the flooding offers many benefits to agriculture and the ecology, it creates great hardship to the people of Anam, forcing a subsistence lifestyle and cutting them off from social services. The Anam communities are faced with the challenge of balancing environmental protection with an urgent need to improve human quality of life. An ecologically balanced response with integrated watershed management is needed to ensure that both humans and the environment survive. In a rare regional and crosscommunity collaboration, leaders from the eight traditional Anam settlements have joined together to address their development needs in a broader, more cohesive manner. With this approach, the Rebirth Council is embarking on a remarkable community-led process, a model at the forefront of best practices in Regional Planning & Development.

Outside of agriculture, water is the most significant ecological feature of the city and presents both a unique advantage and a design challenge. The site of Anam city is conveniently sited near the Ezichi River (which feeds into the Anambra and then Niger rivers), and receives abundant rainfall each year and has access to a large regional aquifer. However, due to its low elevation, the region is prone to flooding every rainy season. Therefore, water strategies is concerned with:

Recommendations
Prioritize recharge of groundwater table and aquifers through percolating pits, recharge wells, sand ponds and porous paving. Require dual piping systems in each unit to allow for potable and grey water delivery. Install shared water boreholes at community utility blocks with on site storage and treatment/filtration (UV units and micron filters) as main potable water provision. Require rainwater catchment systems as a supplemental water source on each unit. Restrict landscaping & fire protection water demands to rainwater (or untreated well water). Maintain on site rainwater treatment systems to deliver potable water to units. Install water-conserving fixtures in all buildings (i.e. low flow faucets & toilets, shower aerators). Utilize shared small- cale water treatment plants to support grey s water recycling for large buildings or institutions. Incorporate creative installation of utilities within landscape (i.e. childrens play pump or landscaped parking lots). Design all buildings and urban spaces to be resilient through annual flooding and 100 year flood levels.

GROUNDWATER RECHARGE: Recharging underground aquifers takes primary importance in securing a sustainable access to safe water. In Anam city, the groundwater table is directly related to the river level. Thus, polluting one effects the other. Soil filtration through permeable surfaces, percolating pits and recharge wells mitigate erosion and allow stormwater to filter through earth medium and refill groundwater sources. BOREHOLES): Distributed boreholes will be the primary source of potable water in Anam city. Due to the easily accessible water table and aquifers, boreholes can be cost-effectively installed at the community utility block of each superblock. With a solar pump, one borehole can supply water to more than 1,600 people per day. . 118

RAINWATER HARVEST With over 150cm of rainfall each year, Anam households are able to harvest enough rainwater for more than 80% of their annual demand. Each building in the city will be designed to enable rainwater harvesting. Collecting rainwater also reduces stormwater runoff and erosion while providing a backup water source at the point of use.

The Community & the State of Health Care
Like many neglected rural areas, the Anam region currently has meager health services, combined with growing medical problems and increased occurrence of chronic and transmissible diseases. The rigorous lives of farmers exacerbate many physical problems as well, and overcrowding in urban areas means that residents, and especially children are extremely vulnerable to exposure to the spread of disease. Sickle cell disease, HIV/ AIDS, malnutrition and malaria are all on the rise in Anam and currently there are no programs in place that can mitigate or alleviate the worsening of poor health and illnesses. While there is a single private hospital in the Otuocha area, 99% of people cannot afford the services, costing in the tens of thousands of Naira for even the most minor treatments. Other health options are available in Onitsha, but require a long drive, making care impossible for many. International standards for health care recommend 1 doctor per 400 people. In this community there may be 1 doctor for 100,000 people.

The ANAM city urban design references Igbo aesthetic and spatial culture while regulating character and micro-climactic performance of urban spaces through form-based urban design guidelines and controls. Given that ANAM is a greenfield development, it is imperative that the character of the urban spaces how they look and feel reference traditional aesthetic values and spatial patterns. Culture is therefore legible in the image of the city, while simultaneously reinvented for the 21st century. Noting that shoddy and degraded buildings and environments devalue their urban context, high quality infrastructure and building construction will be demonstrated, promoted and supported by a culture of maintenance.
....jobs, farms, and houses should be close to each other and mixed in the same area so that people dont have to travel far to between work and home.

SOCIAL DESIGN
VISION ANAM
The key urban design strategies are to: Prioritize navigability: Among the inefficiencies of most African cities is the difficulty inherent in finding a specific location within the city. While a rational street grid combined with designated addresses can help in this regard, uniformity can also make the city alienating. Consequently as complement to rationalized urban morphology landscape features including microwatersheds, waterways and water catchment ponds should inform the fundamental structure of urban districts and neighborhood communities. Maximize the public nature of all urban places: In order to safeguard the spirit of community living, any and all aspects of public urban space such as plazas or illo, sidewalks, streets and parks, as well as their relationship to private buildings, should be organized so as to ensure a sense not only of order, but also inclusiveness. Encourage active streetscapes: Streets should be more than simple routes for circulation. They should perform additionally as conduits of the public sphere, places that foreground social interaction, commercial activity and the life of the city in the form of an outdoor and participatory theater. Promote optimized density of urban fabric: Relative adjacency of activities, buildings and networks of circulation is by definition central to production of an urban environment and can be balanced with the need for light and air. Both over-congestion and sprawl should be avoided. Synthesize diverse uses, activities, demographics and sizes of development: In order to generate a dynamic urbanism, interaction and hybridity should be privileged over homogeneity. Thus, mixed-use and mixed-income neighborhoods should be encouraged. Diversity as applied to retail, residential, commercial, office and all other sectors should draw inspiration from ecological concept of resiliency in which greater heterogeneity of an ecosystem correlates to higher resistance to external stresses. Promote green building practices: In order to harmonize with the natural environment, avoid unchecked destruction of natural resources and minimize energy loads in buildings, climate-responsive design and use of low-impact, locally-fabricated building materials should be the foundation of architectural production. General guidelines can be developed over time to facilitate local
. 140
knowledge-sharing and technology transfer in this regard.
Recommendations

The Neighborhood Zone is a particular urban ecosystem that bridges typical African compound housing with self-sufficiency measures and urban design strategies. While it is common for Nigerian houses to be surrounded by large privacy walls, it is the goal of these neighborhoods to use living walls exclusively (above 1m) and to bring houses closer to the street to create a more walkable and neighborly community. Anam people have emphasized the need for more space in contrast to their existing conditions, thus this Neighborhood zone carefully balances breathing room both socially and 12% microclimatically with the density and accessibly of a pedestrian friendly area. Special consideration has developed adaptive housing strategies that can support mutli-generational housing options. This zone also requires 100% of stormwater be managed (filtered/percolated) on site.

The Hybrid Zone fuses and creates a transition between the Neighborhood and Core Zones. The Hybrid zone is a diverse and flexible area that is higher density and site coverage than a Neighborhood, but less dense than Core. It is comprised of smaller primary structures that address the street with smaller secondary structures in the rear. The primary structure may be more commercial than residential in appearance, with open shop frontages. Generally residential uses may be in second floors or in rear secondary structures. Buildings should not exceed 30m in length to allow for 9% connectivity and air flow between the buildings. Shading structures should be included to create pleasant public spaces. Street trees, and rear yards can be heavily landscaped to enhance cooler climates, clean air and beautiful spaces.

The Public Overlay is a way to designate certain spaces that exist in other zones but that may be required to fulfill a public need or amenity. It is also a way to allocate space to utilities and smaller urban occurrences (such as waste bins, kiosks, street furniture). Because the climate is such that outdoor activities is feasible, it is good to encourage this through the environment and infrastructure. Below are examples of allowable infrastructure within the Public Overlay.
Description
Each lot will be required to construct and maintain a sidewalk in the public easement zone of a minimum 1 meter in the residential zone, and 3 meters in the Core Zone. This sidewalk should be constructed of local pavers and/ or porous pavement materials to allow the maximum water absorption. Sidewalks should be kept clear of debris and maintained for good use by the occupier of the house.

MODEL
Energy provision in Anam is one of the most important areas to make a large-scale sustainability impact. The strategy is to take advantage of the most abundant renewable energy sources while increasing the efficiency of electrical systems through information technologies such as the Smart Grid. Renewable energy sources in Anam include plant matter, solar power, and river (hydro) power. The design strategies ensure that energy provision meets the needs of the present and the future needs through:
LAND
Autonomy - wherever possible, each unit will generate power from renewable sources for use on location. At the same time, modular Community Utility Blocks will facilitate shared systems that distribute energy loads across a neighborhood-scale network Waste-to-energy - organic matter will be turned into biogas and biofuel through small and large-scale aerobic digesters distributed throughout the city. Energy Monitoring & Conservation - smart building design, point of use technologies and conservation incentives.

ENERGY
VISION ANAM
SOLAR ENERGY: One of the most important energy sources in ANAM is solar energy. The amount of solar energy measured in kilowatt hour striking a square meter of the surface is 4.5. This energy source is high enough to power both passive and active systems in the city as well as solar hybrid systems. BIOENERGY: Organic materials are a good source for bioenergy, which can be processed as biogas and biofuel. Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is organic material from living and or recently living organisms such as plant matter, waste, human and animal droppings. Biogas and biofuel produced in the city will be used to generate electricity or produce heat. CONSERVATION: The implementation of renewable energy sources is only part of the solution. Energy conservation and use reduction is critical for a truly comprehensive impact.
MODEL LAND WATER
Recommendations
Incorporate passive solar and energy efficient design in all buildings. Require buildings to generate a majority of electricity demand. Design distributed energy/power systems for incremental growth of the city (unit, urban block or campus scale). Use smart technologies for effective monitoring and consider small community utilities with stock ownership, maintenance and operation by residents or local businesses. As the city expands, the distributed systems can be networked into a cost-efficient two-way intelligent grid for sharing, conserving and monitoring energy across the city. Install alternative power and energy-efficient systems in public spaces (ex: solar powered street & traffic lights) Provide financial incentives for energy conservation and independence through partnerships with municipal and financial institutions

Strategies
The main source of electrical power in Anam city will be from the sun. The goal is to provide an environmentally friendly energy solution and facilitate its implementation from the early stage of the city development. Though implementation will begin with hybrid systems, the long-term goal is for the new city to operate entirely on renewable energy resources on a distributed network of stand-alone and shared systems. Photovoltaic Panels will channel sun directly into electrical power for households and businesses. In addition, Parabolic Systems will concentrate the suns heat into solar thermal power for large scale and industrial applications.

MODEL
The primary objective of waste management for ANAM is to create a balanced and closed-loop system that enables self-sufficiency, promotes environmental stewardship and supports a culture of recycling and reuse. Therefore the strategies include the design and implementation of: Distributed Treatment Systems - as a departure from the traditional centralized systems, this strategy will reduce treatment loads and costs for the city while ensuring infrastructure resiliency. Waste-to-Energy systems - The leading method of Waste to Energy is the creation of biogas from human wastewater and organic waste. Converting waste to biomass in order to produce biogas, biofuel, and organic fertilizer not only provides Anam New City residents renewable energy, but it also reduces the total volume of waste, leading to less money spent for treatment and disposal. Waste Reduction, Recycling & Reuse Programs
LAND WATER SOCIAL
Recommendations
Implement Living Machine wastewater treatment systems employing natural treatment processes within ecosystems and providing energy to other living things (i.e. natural or constructed wetlands, fish ponds, infiltration beds) Collect and treat organic waste and human wastewater in distributed biomass digesters at the urban block or building cluster or campus scale. Methane (biogas) and sludge (fertilizer) by-products should be captured and recycled for domestic, commercial or industrial use. Encourage kitchen/yard waste composting while charging for nonrecyclables waste collection Establish a municipal recycling center and centralized collection facility for hazardous waste Ensure adequate and accessible waste & recyclables collection bins in public spaces Initiate or support a recycling & reuse economy through city-wide programs (e.g., exchanging cash/food for recyclables).

Reflecting the principle building for efficiency, designing for people - a multi-modal street network will address the unified Anam desire for a city with an excellent street network. Although Nigeria has a wealth of oil resources, and is one of the worlds largest producers of petroleum, it is recommended that the Anam City avoid dependence on this resource for environmental, social and economic reasons. The main objective is to implement a redundant network of streets and waterways for maximum efficiency of the range of modes of transportation including:

Design for maximum CONNECTIVITY to increased access, but use OFF SET STREETS selectively as a traffic calming design strategy. SHARED STREETS can be safe and cost effective alternatives to traditional street design for maximum flexibility and adaptability over time. PARA TRANSIT systems will have designated lanes for their use during designated times to decrease traffic and encourage paratransit as a choice. Design FLOOD CAPACITY into the streets with porous materials and water retention areas away from houses and businesses. Use local MATERIALS with low carbon footprints.

Description
The Laneways are designed primarily for rear access to the parcels in Anam City. This facilitaties fewer crossings of the bioswales on the Main Road, and also provides access for utilities or waste systems. These laneways should be considered a throughway in the city, and will have a greenway-like character. All the pavement will be highly permeable to mitigate the impacts of stormwater.

VISION ANAM
1 May 2011 This document captures a timeless vision for the Anam people, and is exemplary of our tradition of self-determination and desire for collective progress. Like many Africans, the story of our lives demonstrate the wise Igbo saying, Ora na azu nwa, meaning it takes a village to raise a child. A proud son of Anam, I am a product of my communitys support and commitment to their future generations. Today, we are honored to witness the rebirth of our people. Anam New City is both a model city and a new model for sustainable development in Africa. It is a project to fundamentally reorganize society for real and lasting change along an alternative paradigm. It combines the benefits of modern urban living with those of rural communities and traditional productive landscapes. It is at its core an initiative to generate local economic opportunity as well as a strategy for using technology to reconceptualize the African city and improve peoples lives in measurable ways. We invite you to connect with our community and participate in our creating collectively a new future for Africa.

VISION ANAM MODEL LAND
This visioning document was prepared by the Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation with and for the greater Anam community. The Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation is a nonprofit organization established to improve the teaching, study and application of technology in Africa. We believe technology is a necessary tool for development and should be a product of its environment. Our vision is a future of livable, self sustaining African communities that are environmentally friendly and economically vibrant. Using appropriate technologies, the Foundation initiates projects that improve regional infrastructure, enhance agricultural production and services, and promote diversification of economies to improve quality of life. The Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation also is committed to ensuring that Africa assumes its rightful place in the global community by investing in education. To that end, the Foundation offers scholarships to brilliant students with a propensity to Math and Science who may not reach their potential without financial support. Students are sponsored for attendance at any institution of their choice in their country of residence and required to complete local community and service projects.
Many people both in the Anam community and international community have brought their passion and expertise together to develop this Master Plan vision for a future Anam City. We thank them all.
