The Mayor's Plan for Port au Prince was prepared by Municipality of Port au Prince, with the planning firm CHRAP/Trame, directed by the architect and engineer Elisabeth Coicou in  2011.

From an article in Haiti Grassroots Watch (HGW--see link below)--"At the May 19 meeting, Jason (Jason Muscadin--Mayor of PauP) told property owners that the (Princes) Foundation plan had many shortcomings, as noted in a Trame/CHRAD assessment obtained by HGW.  Among other criticisms, “[t]he planning proposal is written… without one trace of on-the-ground research” and “cannot in any way be considered as the basis for reflection or planning…for the capital’s downtown,” the document says. In contrast, Trame and CHRAD say their proposal is based on hundreds of pages of diagnostic reports (sociological, economic, drainage,) which take into account participatory meetings.  At the May 19 meeting, Groupe Trame director Elisabeth Coicou showed slides and talked about their proposal which will assure “mixed” housing (low- and middle-income), tourism-friendly areas (artist’s neighborhoods), and a “revalorization of the seaboard."

Currently the Mayor's Plan is not publically available.  We are working to facilitate public access to the Mayor's Plan.
