Luanda Province

Luanda is a province of Angola. It has an area of 2,257 km² and a population of 1,823,282 in 2006. Luanda is the capital of the province and the country. The urban agglomeration of Luanda grew to englobe all adjoining municipalities, Belas, Cacuao, Cazenga and Viana.

Since 2011^[1] , Luanda Province is subdivided into seven municipalities which are the original city of Luanda, then Belas, Cacuaco, Cazenga, Icolo e Bengo, Quiçama and Viana. These are again subdivided into 47 Communes (Comunas). The original Luanda province had been divided into the provinces of Luanda and Bengo in 1980^[1]. The new reform of 2011 moved the municipalities Icolo e Bengo and Quiçama from Bengo to Luanda.

The province has created the Instituto de Planeamento e Gestão Urbana de Luanda (IPGUL, Institute for urban planning and management of Luanda) as an independent organ for urban planning of the province^[2].
