ABSTRACT
The Millennium Village occupies a large plot in the heart of Lusaka’s colonial-era central administrative area, with its gate on the tree-lined Birdcage Walk, a short way from what the city’s British planners called the Ridgeway, where the colonial administrators sat atop the city (Myers, 2003). The Millennium Village, however, was purpose-built with funding from the government of Libya to coincide with the 2000 meeting of the African Union. Libya’s leader at that time, the late Muammar Gaddafi, had a house built for each member state’s President, with the name of the country emblazoned on the front above its door.
