### Planning history
Ndondomeko yakwamba ya Lilongwe yikalembeka mu 1955, pambere ŵandambe kusamuskira msumba wa Zomba ku Lilongwe mu 1965. Chilato cha ndondomeko iyi chikaŵa chakuti boma liŵe na nkhongono zinandi mwa kuŵika boma mu msumba umoza, kweniso kuti likhwimiske vinthu mu vigaŵa vyapakati na vya kumpoto mwa kuzenga malo ghakurughakuru mu charu. Ŵakapika ntchito ya kunozga pulani ya Lilongwe, iyo yikamara mu 1968. Fundo zinandi izo zikalembeka mu pulani yikuru iyi zikapokelereka mu mapulani ghanyake agho ghakaŵako pamanyuma. Cakwamba cikaŵa ndondomeko ya ku Lilongwe mu 1969. Likanozgeka kuti lipulikiske fundo zikuruzikuru za mu pulani iyi na kusintha vinthu ivyo boma likaghanaghananga kuti ni vyambura kwenelera.

Ndondomeko ya Lilongwe Outline Zoning ndiyo yikawovwira kuti msumba uwu uŵe wakutowa. Mu tawuni iyi mukaŵa mizi yinandi kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kunjira mu misewu. Chilato chikaŵa chakuti malo ghakukhalamo, ntchito, na maofesi gha munthavi ghazengekenge pa malo agha kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kwenda mtunda utali. Kukaŵa malo ghanayi ghanthena agha, ndipo cilicose cikaŵa cigaŵa ca msumba.

(a) Old Town Primary Commercial Center, iyo yili na malo ghaŵiri agho ghali mu Area 2 (Bwalonjobyu) na Area 3 (Kang'ombe)

Kufuma apo, chigaŵa cha 58 chikasazgikako ku chigaŵa cha msumba uwu kuyana na kalembera wa ŵanthu na nyumba wa 2008. Ndondomeko ya malo ya mu 1986 yikakhumbanga kukhozga ndondomeko ya vinthu vya mu matawuni na kugwiliskira nchito malo mwakukwana pa msewu na vinyake. Ndondomeko iyi yikagwira ntchito m'paka mu 2000, kweni yikamara yayi mu 2000 chifukwa cha suzgo la ndalama, luso, na ŵanthu.
