ENTOTO TO PEACOCK RIVER & RIVERSIDE DEVELOPMENT
A pioneering urban river and landscape regeneration project that redefines the relationship between Addis Ababa and its waterways. The project transforms the river corridor into an integrated ecological and public realm system through architectural and landscape interventions focused on river restoration, urban connectivity, and community engagement. By reconnecting people with the river, linking existing and proposed parks, and creating a continuous network of landmarks, recreational spaces, and civic facilities, the development establishes a new urban spine that celebrates nature, culture, and collective experiences. Rooted in sustainable design principles and indigenous knowledge, the project creates a resilient riverside landscape that enhances the identity and livability of Addis Ababa.
