PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Lobito
01
Use Lobito historic core as the orientation base, then group Lobito historic anchor and Lobito market and food route before crossing to the other side of Lobito.
02
Give Lobito waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Lobito regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Lobito regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
