# Guinea state land declassification and urban restructuring > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/guinea-state-land-declassification-and-urban-restructuring > Updated: 2026-10-20T12:43:28.000Z. Sources: 11. Developments: 2. Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya signed a decree declassifying over 750 hectares of state-owned land reserves, specifically targeting the Simbayah-Wanindara industrial zone and Kassa Island. The move aims to facilitate urban development, regularization, and the formalization of land tenure under national regulations. The initial decree excluded existing public infrastructure, religious sites, and military installations. Following the announcement, government officials clarified that the reclassification will trigger significant urban restructuring. While the decision provides relief regarding land rights for some residents, the government intends to install essential infrastructure such as schools, roads, and health centers. Officials warned that individuals occupying areas ‘anarchically’ or those whose structures interfere with planned public utilities may face demolitions or displacements once technical services finalize urban planning maps. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-20: Guinea President Mamadi Doumbouya announces judicial reshuffle and land reforms President Mamadi Doumbouya has ordered a sweeping judicial reshuffle in Guinea and declassified 750 hectares of state land in Conakry to facilitate urban restructuring. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wanindara-land-reclassification-to-trigger-urban-restructuring ### 2026-10-16: Guinea President declassifies 750 hectares of state land reserves Guinean President Mamadi Doumbouya has decreed the declassification of over 750 hectares of state land in Simbayah-Wanindara and Kassa Island to regularize current occupants and facilitate urban development. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guinea-president-declassifies-750-hectares-of-state-land-reserves --- Cite as: Guinea state land declassification and urban restructuring.
