Community, Participation, Resilience: flood control strategies in Freetown
The election of the new mayor of Freetown Yvonne Aki-Sawyer on March 2018 has marked a notable change in the way the city is administered.
Indeed, for the first time, the Freetown City Council has prepared a well-structured strategic plan, with clear objectives, concrete tools and, above all, time horizons and solutions for economic coverage.
The plan, promoted by Sawyer, which focuses on the improvement of the city’s environment, on risk mitigation and the consequent strengthening of the city’s resilience – is called “Transform Freetown”.
