Just saw these newly planted date palms being eaten by goats which I suspected would happen. Nobody stopping them either. Garowe won’t get anywhere until the animals are kept far from the city. All that work for nothing.

The roundabout needs a defining memorial, not necessarily a statue of a person, but an iconic aspect of Puntland or better yet pre-Puntland history. Maybe recreating the iconic Lighthouse in Cape Guardafui or having August 1998 with the signatures or the outline of Puntland.

It needs to be something more than an advertisement of Golis or any other monopoly, that is ugly and basic. It is literally just known as “barxada”, it needs to have an iconic memorial for it to be named after and then that can be the centre of the city, just off the suuq.

Xamar, having been built when everyone lived there, has 3 statues, 2 are on either side of the city (Xawa Taako being opposite the National Theatre and Sayyid being just off of old parliament / Masjid Isbahaysiga), however the iconic and most renown is the main hub, that is what is needed

Agreed, and I think it might be still under construction, or at least I do hope so. It is a good beginning, and a sense of what the future might look like. I remember seeing earlier pictures of what London's Hanger Lane gyratory used to look like.

That ugly lego block building owned by Dhiigshiil is an eyesore. He needs to construct those lego-land atrocities in his own homeland. Garowe really needs to set laws about certain hideous buildings.

Puntland's Government must ban these hideous monstrosties

YES to quality architecture and normal colour schemes

A monument to Somali scholars would look amazing there, from Aw Barkhadle to Prince Kenadid to professor Samantar, or maybe Somali scholars in the abstract. It would set aside Garowe as a city which elevates the pen over the sword

Here they go again, nice roads, but no public safety whatsoever. Where are the crossings/traffic lights. Dadkaan waa la yaaba.

 

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

There are none, but they will eventually get there. Did you know zebra crossing only works in Europe, and exists only in name and theory in the US? You can not imagine how many times I almost could have been mowed down to the asphalt in a zebra crossing in the US.

You build a house from the foundations.

 

[DR OSMAN]

You build a house from the foundations.

Hard(ports, airports, roads, sewage, clean water, drainage, energy, livestock stations, farm zones and Social infrastructure(health, education, civil societies focused on various developmental interests) is the foundation.

Market Development is the next biggest task once the social and hard infrastructure has matured as that's the first thing large volume of investors eye, the labor talent, quantity, health and skills, rule of law, market laws, taxations and finally hard infrastructure availability, reliability, pricing.

PL economist then need to see how much excess funds sit in stock exchanges in the world after yearly global funds are allocated to existing global economic sectors, tell the education minister to focus on those targetted skills only once the global investors list is developed who have excess funds, set up health standards, infrastructure needs, employ as many people in volume should be economist target per investor ratio. Or set up a stock exchange bring diaspora and local and foreigners capital together for mutual beneficial growth.

It's a competition on wallets at the middle and lower not upper(ganacsato) worldwide and it surely not a competition on architectural design lol

But I have been refused to LEAD PL, once my generation time has come, so I'll continue to provide advice or direction and calculated routes with good returns on mass employment and growing wallets in the middle and lower spheres.

What three things do you notice here?

Iftar in the streets of Garowe. Is this new?

 

[Atoosh]

Baby steps, there is no standards in terms of infrastructure planning and road markings. The two lanes are visibly different sizes. I don't know if they're marketing towards the tuktuks but there are big caandhokumeedles that travel through most roads in Puntland.

I'm still glad to see development of critical street networks within the city. Garowe is beginning to look more and more developed from the last time I was there.
