Borniface Mutape

Collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to integrate urban planning into construction projects in Harare and Chiredzi, ensuring alignment with regional development policies and zoning laws. Coordinated development implementation across planning stages by liaising with architects, engineers, and construction staff, producing reports, supporting public participation, and advocating smart growth priorities such as affordable housing and green spaces. Managed land use and area development planning, including analyzing site terrain and natural features, designing road networks and road hierarchy for connectivity and accessibility, and assessing environmental impacts to protect local ecosystems. Utilized GIS for base map generation, spatial data analysis, mapping and modeling of urban growth and transport planning, and used ArcGIS/Global Mapper/Grass GIS/MapPad/Quantum GIS for cartographic outputs to support evidence-based decisions. Produced technical drawings and 3D models using ArchiCAD

Supported the drafting and updating of the Chiredzi District Master Plan in line with regional development goals. Generated base maps using GIS (Quantum GIS), assisted with detailed planning report preparation, and informed land use and infrastructure decisions through site surveys and spatial data collection. Mapped and modeled urban growth and transportation networks using GIS, monitored progress against planning regulations and community development objectives, and contributed to environmental and social impact analysis to guide sustainable planning initiatives. Coordinated with engineering teams so infrastructure proposals aligned with urban planning objectives and regulatory standards, contributed to spatial planning and zoning reviews for anticipated urban growth, supported data management for updating infrastructure inventories, and helped with preliminary feasibility studies for urban regeneration projects. Conducted regular progress reviews to maintain alignment with project o

Participated in the development of urban transport plans using GIS for accurate data mapping and analysis. Engaged with local community stakeholders to gather input and improve urban development planning strategies, and contributed to technical documentation and presentations for urban planning and logistics projects. Conducted field surveys and data collection to support transport route planning and traffic management, and supported GIS-based workflow to improve planning accuracy and efficiency. Performed data analysis using Excel to aid decision-making, supported drafting policy recommendations to improve urban and regional planning outcomes, and conducted spatial data collection and site surveys to inform land use and infrastructure planning aligned with sustainable urban development principles. Also provided administrative support to senior staff for daily operations and produced reports to inform urban development work.
