Quatre Bornes

Quatre Bornes sits within the continuous central conurbation of Mauritius and has long functioned as a commercial and residential centre between Port Louis, Rose Hill and the higher plateau towns. Its urban form is now being reshaped by the Metro Express, which made the town part of the island’s main light-rail corridor.

Government plans treat the station area as more than a transport stop. The proposed Quatre Bornes Urban Terminal is intended as a mixed-use interchange with improved pedestrian, cycling and disabled access, using state land more intensively while strengthening the identity of the town centre. An Outline Planning Scheme provides the wider land-use framework. Together, these measures place mobility, public realm and town-centre regeneration at the centre of Quatre Bornes’ next phase of development.
