01 — What Is Park City
Park City is an approximately 930-hectare, nature-led, master-planned mixed-use urban development located northwest of central Harare, Zimbabwe.
Planned as a complete urban ecosystem, it brings together housing, commerce, industry, learning, research, health, culture and recreation through a connected framework of landscape, public space, mobility and infrastructure.
Master planner Lead8 captures the spatial idea behind this system as “A Township in the Park.”
02 — Why Now
Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030 sets a long-term national development horizon encompassing economic growth, infrastructure and social development.
Within this broader context, Park City is being planned for the long term. The plan brings housing, enterprise, learning, health, landscape and infrastructure into one coordinated framework designed to respond to changing needs over time.
03 — Why Here
Park City lies northwest of central Harare, near Zimbabwe’s New Parliament Building at Mount Hampden. The scale of the site, together with its proximity to air and rail corridors, offers potential for business, regional trade and wider international links.
For Park City, this is a moment to plan beyond immediate needs. Its urban framework is intended to remain adaptable as Zimbabwe’s communities, economy and expectations evolve.
04 — A Family Vision for Park City
The Matsaira family, through Hondeh Property Ventures, is working to advance the vision for Park City, drawing on local knowledge and international planning, engineering and economic expertise.
They aim for Park City to become a forward-looking city that contributes over the long term to Zimbabwe’s social development, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.
We are taking a long-term view—creating a sustainable city and a way of life that will endure for years to come.
