Heerim Architects has secured a contract to develop a master plan for a smart city covering approximately 10,000 hectares in Dodoma, Tanzania's administrative capital.
On November 9, Heerim Architects announced that it signed a contract with the city of Dodoma at Chingali Park for the 'Homebolo Smart City Development Feasibility Study and Comprehensive Master Plan.'
This project aims to develop a satellite city around Homebolo Lake in Dodoma, equipped with eco-friendly technologies and advanced information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. Heerim Architects will be responsible for conducting the feasibility study and establishing the overall spatial plan for the city.
The contract signing ceremony was attended by local government officials, including the mayor of Dodoma, the governor, and the chairperson of the Dodoma City Council.
This agreement was reached directly between Heerim Architects and the local government, without utilizing public loans such as the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF). Heerim Architects previously secured a master plan contract for the MICE complex in Zanzibar, further expanding its urban development projects in Dodoma.
A representative from Heerim Architects stated, 'Through this smart city master plan contract, we have solidified our position in the East African market, including Tanzania. We aim to set a new standard for eco-friendly urban development based on our accumulated urban design capabilities.'
Additionally, Heerim Architects formed a consortium with HanmiGlobal in September and was selected as a construction management partner for the redevelopment project of the Eunma Apartment in Gangnam, Seoul. They will support key project management tasks, including cost verification and general sales planning.
