Ciudad de la Paz (Spanish: [θjuˈdad de la ˈpaθ], lit. 'City of Peace'), formerly Oyala, also known as Djibloho – Ciudad de la Paz, is a city in Equatorial Guinea that is being built to replace Malabo as the national capital.[3][4][5] Established as an urban district in Wele-Nzas in 2015,[6] it is now the administrative headquarters of Djibloho, Equatorial Guinea's newest province created in 2017, and is located near the town of Mengomeyén.[7] In 2017, the city was officially renamed Ciudad de la Paz ("City of Peace").[8][9]
The planned city's location was chosen for its easy access and benign climate. It is notably on the mainland, in contrast to Malabo, which is on the island of Bioko. It was designed by the Portuguese Studio for Architecture and Urbanism FAT – Future Architecture Thinking. It is projected to have around 200,000 inhabitants,[10] a new Parliament building, a number of presidential villas and an area of 8150 hectares.[11][12] The construction of this new capital has been criticised by the political opposition to President Teodoro Obiang, the driving force behind the initiative. The Government of Equatorial Guinea began to move to the city in early 2017.[13]
