The Volta Delta Region is facing not only the challenge of severe coastal erosion, but also to create a balance between the nature and the challenges brought by the urbanization. By these challenges, the project shows a possible future in developing a vulnerable area with an integrated landscape in a dynamic situation of delta region with limitations in financial, political and technological sectors.

The project offers ideas of landscape transformation as whole, linking the spatial, economic, and ecological sectors in circular systems, as well as technical solutions and vision on how the project may be implemented.

The concept and frameworks resulted in this project are expected to be a starting point of discussion between stakeholders to create sustainable development strategies for the future of Volta Delta.
