outward-bound convoys of the
Spanish treasure fleets entering
 the Caribbean from Europe.

The Challenge of Roseau
To the Church          To the South
          Up the Roseau Valley
          And across the island

     Roseau grew, bounded on four
     sides by
     •the Roseau River
     •Bath Estate
     •Newtown Savannah
     •and the sea.
     •Only in the 20th century did it
     expand when estate lands were
     turned to housing.

Facing the Urban Reality in Roseau
Perspective - Before and After
Success of Proposals?
What’s the problem?
• Lack of political will
• Difficulty to get
  Government to regard
  proposals from authority
• The absence of adequate
  financial support
• The constraints of the
  layout of the city
• Lot sizes
• The socio economic
  conditions.
• Communication and
  responsibility between
  agencies and stakeholders
• Any development is
  haphazard
   – No continuity
   – Not planned
   – Planning should be a major
     stakeholder
• Lot sizes
• The socio economic
  conditions.
• Communication and
  responsibility between
  agencies and stakeholders
• Any development is
  haphazard
   – No continuity
   – Not planned
   – Planning should be a major
     stakeholder
Solution
•   Government to adopt a Five year plan
•   Zoning and Land-use Plans
•   Stricter Code
•   Stewardship
•   Support of the Public (Misunderstanding
    Sustainability
Portsmouth                         Decentralizing
                Wesley               Dominica
                Marigot
                             The pressure on Roseau
              Castle Bruce   will only be relieved if
                             centers of investment and urban
                             expansion are planned elsewhere in
                             Dominica.

                  Laplaine
                             The population and the services
                             required will then be more evenly
    Roseau                   spread across the island.

                             This must be the policy for the
                             future, for the good of Roseau.
