Moderated by Andrew Blum
Thursday, February 28, 2008
The Urban Center, New York City

Carl Worthington, Director of Urban Design and Planning at OZ Architecture, and Catherine Leslie, Project Manager at Tetra Tech and Executive Director of Engineers Without Borders – USA, will discuss the new master plan and building efforts for Kigali, Rwanda. The master plan is part of the Rwandan government’s response to rapid urbanization, and seeks investment in human capital, information technology, and economic growth as bulwarks against population growth, inadequate infrastructure, poverty, and a history of conflict. Alfred Ndabarasa, second counselor to the Republic of Rwanda’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, will give a brief introduction to Rwanda and the government’s goals. Journalist Andrew Blum will moderate a discussion following the presentations.Part 1: Alfred Ndabarasa
