Classification:

Summary:

The environmental project is dealing with the rehabilitation and adjustment of two green spaces in Bujumbura : the Public Garden in the neighbourhood of Rohero and Revolution Square in front of the Bank of the Burundian Republic.

Today, they are privileged spaces for relaxation and leisure, where the entire population of Bujumbura can train, learn, have a walk and a rest. Vegetation implanted allows these places to be more than just places of recreation but also part of the ambient air cleaning in a city where the fleet is constantly growing. These areas also enhance the aesthetics of the city and represent an additional attraction for visitors. The Public Garden is very attractive and attendance is very important.

 Moreover, this project is helping to raise the conscience on the importance of green spaces. It should encourage everyone to preserve them from the actual pressure of the real estate in Bujumbura.
