As the city experiences fast development of industrial infrastructures and increasing anthropogenic pressure in urban areas, the governance and urban planning face a wide range of challenges. Recognizing that these changes and trends can be difficult to reverse, there is a demand to understand in what way the mining industry affects the urban planning practice. This paper presents the most relevant features of the 2012 Urban Structure Plan of the City of Tete (PEUT), by comparing the plan to the current situation, analyzing changes, differences and tendencies due to the development context (mining booms, mining deceleration and expected expansion in the future) given for the city. It focuses on the analysis of the urban planning practice within the changing development context in relation to coal mining industry, from the socio-economic and the physical point of view. This paper is also a reflection on the shared applicability in dealing with future changes in the territory by looking at the Special development plan for part of the Zambezi River Basin in 2016 (PEOT).
