The 350th Anniversary of Cap-Haïtien City - 20 Projects for Cap 2020

This document presents an ambitious urban development vision for Cap-Haïtien to commemorate its 350th anniversary (1670-2020). The plan centers on transforming the city into a modern, dynamic, and attractive metropolis that promotes sustainable and environmentally respectful practices. The development strategy is organized around three complementary poles: the urban pole of Cap-Haïtien, the coastal pole of Labadie, and the historical pole of the Citadelle Laferrière National Historical Park.

The comprehensive plan includes 20 specific projects designed to revitalize the economy and improve urban infrastructure. These projects range from river management and street reconfiguration to the development of tourist circuits and technological parks. The financing approach combines public funding and public-private partnerships (PPP), with 11 projects using public financing and 9 utilizing PPP models.

Key infrastructure improvements focus on decongesting the city center through market relocation, intersection reconfigurations, and the development of bypass routes. Tourism development is prioritized through the creation of waterfront promenades, tourist marinas, heritage circuits, and innovative transportation solutions including a cable car connecting Milot to the Citadelle Laferrière. The plan also emphasizes cultural heritage preservation and enhancement through lighting projects and visitor facility improvements at historical sites.
