Port Louis Smart City
The Port Louis Smart City Concept plan is a series of projects driven by private sector under the general control of Government to meet the objectives set to elevate
Mauritius and place it on the world map, and solve the many issues in the cultural, urban, economical and societal fabric.
We recognize that cultural identity is a matter of being as well as becoming, and thus it belongs to our future as much as our past. Ultimately, our structures in Port Louis
are the visual narrators of our history and will stand long for centuries to come. We thus take inspiration from the community’s identity in the city to shape our designs, and
in so doing, bring back glory to Port Louis and their people.
This plan presents an idea of cohesion and societal integrity that looks at a myriad of components as listed in this document. The series of independent projects in Ward
IV, Champs de Mars, Plaine Verte, China Town, Aapravasi Ghat, the Water Front, and others as presented have for converging objective the increase in the livelihood of
the populace and advocates for societal equity.
