The map
Ruwa lies on the highveld just east of Harare, along the main road toward Mutare and the eastern border. From above, it reads as a young town. There are planned residential areas with regular streets, open plots still waiting for houses, and large stretches of grassland and farmland between the built-up areas. The road east is the clearest line on the map, and the town is arranged around it.
Ruwa has grown quickly in recent decades as people moved out of the capital to build homes in new suburbs. Much of that growth is recent and still visible on the map, where finished neighbourhoods sit beside areas where only the street layout is in place. The town has been shaped more by planning and new building than by history.
A Ruwa map poster captures a town that is still taking shape. The regular layouts of the new suburbs, the main road running through them and the open land around them combine into a composition that is orderly but unfinished. For people who have built a home there, that is the point: the map shows where their street joined the town.
The main road east from Harare runs through Ruwa and forms the backbone of the town. Streets and suburbs branch off it on both sides.
Residential areas follow regular street layouts, many of them recent. On the poster they form neat, repeating patterns that stand apart from the open land around them.
Grassland and farmland fill the space between the town's districts and beyond them. These open areas give the map breathing room and show the town's rural setting.

Why Ruwa
Many residents of Ruwa built their own homes there, sometimes over several years. A map of the town marks that achievement. It also makes a meaningful gift for a housewarming, or for relatives abroad who want to see where the family now lives.
Personalise the title and subtitle with your family name, your suburb or the year you moved in, and keep the coordinates line. Choose one of five styles. Then download print-ready HD files for $9, or order a printed poster on matte paper.
