Mont Amba is an area of the capital city of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, comprising five of the city-province's twenty-four administrative divisions—the communes of Kisenso, Lemba, Limete, Matete and Ngaba. It is one of the four so-called districts of Kinshasa. These were the administrative divisions of Kinshasa during much of the Mobutu years (1965-1997) and around which a number of government systems and services are still organized. For instance, Mont Amba makes up an eleven-member National Assembly constituency designated as Kinshasa III. However, these districts are not part of Congo's territorial organization.Mont Amba takes its name from the hill in its extreme southwest on which the main campus of the University of Kinshasa is situated. Its western border rises from there to the Congo river east of the downtown district. It is separated from the Tshangu District further to the east by the Ndjili River. Mont Amba is home to several parts of the University of Kinshasa, including the regional center for nuclear research. As of March 2011, the reactor at this center had not been operational for several years. The Mont Amba Medical Center in Lemba is a teaching hospital for the university. In June 2011 the first plastic surgery clinic in the DRC was opened at the hospital, primarily for the treatment of children who had been burned.

La Cité du Fleuve is a planned neighborhood on the outskirts of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, being constructed on land reclaimed from the Congo River. La Cité du Fleuve began as a dream in early 2008. In June 2009 the reclamation and construction work began. Today, land is being reclaimed in preparation for a showhouse, which will be built while land for the rest of Phase 1 is being reclaimed. A planned development situated on reclaimed land space in the sandbanks and marshes of the Congo river, directly adjacent to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the development will be linked to the main land by roads leading to the city and to the airport. Upon completion, the new island which is still under development is anticipating at least 250,000 residents. As of November 2015 this project is only 20% completed, and 35 380 had to be subdivided, for an investment that already exceeds US$100 million. Due to the site location and attractive apartment flagship conditions of acquisition, the project is very advanced. To make this project accessible to the Congolese middle class, French-Lebanese businessman Robert Choudury will shortly be opening a bank on the island. The real estate bank of the river will be the first bank in Congo to issue loans to people wishing to purchase a home on credit. At least 40 buildings more than 10 story high are currently under construction in the city center. The city will also have an independent source of energy generated specifically for the city.
