FR Urban Planning and Development
The urban concepts conceived by Kora, look for sustainable, simple, functional and easy maintenance solutions:
- Earthwork, drainage and roads
- Water distribution system
- Wastewater collection system
- Electricity distribution network
- Green areas
Always taking into account pre-existing obstacles in the area of the project: topography, soil characteristics, water system, trees, local infrastructures and other relevant elements of the environment.
New Centralities
Cidades Horizonte are an innovative concept of cities in Angola.
The urban project was designed according to a logic of blocks integrated into education infrastructures, cultural and commercial centers. This formula encourages contact and interaction between people.
One project that changes the concept of living, as it presents a new urban community that promotes quality of life.
That is how Cidade Horizonte is born.
Safety and the absence of walls or barriers allows a greater experience of the outer space. The surrounding area is an extension of each house. The concept of “street” goes beyond the functional side of “public road” and evolves to an idea of a “meeting point”.
In this connective expression, the project comes alive, through a set of solutions and equipment that promote an ongoing life: from the family to the community and vice versa.
The implementation of New Centralities projects represents the most significant part of Kora's activities, embracing the construction of 40.000 housing buildings, social facilities, commercial areas, health and education support centers in 14 New Centralities, distributed across 6 provinces of Angola.

Urban Restoration
In cooperation with the Ministry of Territorial Planning and Housing, Kora added to its portfolio the participation in urban restoration projects, underway in the city of Luanda.
The main characteristic of these projects is the linked and cyclical succession of reconversion-occupation processes, usually called “Bola de Neve” (Snowball).
It is a way of action associated with urban culture, the ability to attract populations and the sustainable development of territories. The conversion involves redevelopment and revitalization of cities, particularly in the most degraded areas, building new centers to stimulate experiences, commerce and culture.
Rural Communities
Kora also has the experience of implementing housing projects predominantly in rural areas, with specific characteristics and contexts.
