SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN HONDO VALLE Hondo Valle is a border municipality of 10,587 inhabitants and it is characterised by compromised social infrastructure, water sources and forest land as well as limited economic opportunities which motivates the population efflux. Even thou public transport routes are scarce, this territory depends on nearby cities to access basic services due to the absence of local facilities. In addition, landslides, drought and flooding are consequences of agriculture practices. This spatial development plan is a pilot project to introduce planning instruments in the Dominican context and address the current vulnerability to climate change. This plan introduces a zoning scheme to address the soil condition and remediate forest and water streams. It also integrates cacao and coffee plantation models as an strategic measure for sustainable development. Furthermore, defines an urban chracter for the municipality with new amenities, centralities and local services.
