Ndola

Ndola is a major Copperbelt city whose development is shaped by industrial activity, regional transport and the need to renew ageing urban infrastructure. Its growth extends beyond the historic core into new residential and commercial areas, increasing demand for roads, water, sanitation and more coordinated land management.

The city’s Integrated Development Plan 2022–2032 provides the main framework for linking these sectors, while current infrastructure programmes include major road investment and improvements to water supply serving Ndola and the surrounding Copperbelt. These projects matter most when they reinforce a coherent urban structure rather than operate independently. For Ndola, planning future expansion alongside transport and utility capacity is essential to avoid fragmented growth and to maintain the city’s role as a connected regional economic centre.
