LaNCoR+ (Landscapes Initiatives for Neighbourhood and Community Revival Plus) is an integrated project with a vision to revive communities in sub-Saharan Africa, through creative initiatives, interaction, and utilization of their landscapes.
This project is an initiative of CLEAN-AFRICA partnered by Spaysis Architecture, Planning and Engineering limited, Rethink and Kumasi Archdioceses.
LaNCoR+ project used Appiadu, a peri-urban community near Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Kumasi-Ghana as a focus community to initiate the revival of open spaces for community cohesion and development. The LaNCoR+ strategy included an international students’ workshop on playgrounds and open spaces aimed at providing multipurpose rendezvous spaces for the community.
LaNCoR+ is serving to foster selfhelp attitude and initiative within the community and also provide opportunities for training and employment for the youth of Appiadu, Kumasi, and Ghana. The project is anticipated to serve as a pilot case where the results could be replicated in other communities in Ghana and adapted later for other sub-Saharan African countries.
