Lilongwe is the largest city in Malawi and is divided into four sectors namely; Old Town, Capital Hill, Kanengo and Lumbadzi.
The design clusters residential, employment and service areas around each centre, in order to optimise travel distances and avoid congestion. The city is further divided into 68 areas.
The Council has four markets in the Central Business District (CBD) namely Central, Tsoka, Lizulu and Area 3 Markets.
The city has experienced rapid urbanisation such that the two main markets are overcrowded with traders.
The congestion of traders in the market has led some of the traders plying their business in the streets hence a need for a new infrastructure to accommodate more traders.
The Lilongwe City Council ranks the planned construction of the market dubbed the Wenela Multi-Storey Market and planned construction of an International Bus Terminal in the city as its flagship projects.
