Urban Planning Sketch for Plaine-du-Nord - Cap-Haïtien Development Hub

This comprehensive urban planning sketch for Plaine-du-Nord presents a 20-year development framework as part of UNDP's support program for governmental and local authorities in planning reconstruction and renovation of six development hubs. The document aims to mobilize all stakeholders around common objectives, ensure coherence of future measures, and prioritize interventions to make Plaine-du-Nord a secure, dynamic and prosperous city.

The study is structured in four main sections: diagnostic analysis and development perspectives, vision and orientations, planning framework tools, and priority interventions. It establishes urbanization perimeters, land use sectors, constraint and protection zones to guide sustainable urban development.

The planning exercise involved rigorous multidimensional analysis, stakeholder interviews, and participatory consultation processes. The document serves as an evolving instrument providing a realistic foundation for progressive planning management by local authorities and other involved actors.

With a 20-year planning horizon and recommended five-year review cycles, this sketch establishes the groundwork for transforming Plaine-du-Nord into a viable and sustainable living environment for all inhabitants while preserving its historical, ecological and landscape assets.
