Ng'ambo atlas : historic urban landscape of Zanzibar Town's 'other side'
Ng'ambo is the lesser known 'other side' of Zanzibar Town. During the British Protectorate the area was designated as the 'Native Quarters', today it is set to become the new city center of Zanzibar's capital. Local and international perceptions of the cultural and historical importance of Ng'ambo have for a long time remained overshadowed by the social and cultural divisions created during colonial times. One thing is certain: despite its limited international fame and lack of recognition of its importance, Ng'ambo has played and continues to play a vital role in shaping the urban environment of Zanzibar Town. This atlas presents over hundred years of Ng'ambo's history and urban development through maps, plans, surveys and images, and provides insights into its present-day cultural landscape through subjects such as architecture, toponymy, cultural activities, public recreation, places for social interaction, handcrafts and urban heritage. Ng'ambo Atlas : historic urban landscape of Zanzibar Town's 'other side' documents the material collected through the heritage-based urban regeneration project Ng'ambo Tuitakayo! carried out by the Government of Zanzibar in collaboration with African Architecture Matters and City of Amsterdam and under the auspices of UNESCO.
