The Park is home to over 200 Bontebok and many other animals including the Red Hartebees and Grey Rhebok. Although the smallest of SA’s 19 National Parks, it is by no means less diverse.

including the Blue Crane and African Fish Eagle.• Have a special celebration at ‘Die Stroom.’ The function facility caters for 50 people and has a built-in braai area on a spacious deck overlooking

AGULHAS

The southernmost tip of Africa, official meeting place of the Atlantic and Indian oceans, is a place of rugged beauty with rich cultural and natural her-itage. Many national monuments are found in the area, such as the historic Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, which has been in operation since 1849.

Here are some ideas of what to see and do in Agul-has National Park:-

• Unwind amidst the sound of crashing waves, the scent of fynbos and sheer magic of the location.• Visit the Lighthouse Museum inside the second

oldest working lighthouse in South Africa and climb the seventy one steps to enjoy the view from the top.• Stand at the southernmost tip of Africa and take

the Breede River.• Go walking alongside the Breede River and through hills of Aloe.• Take a drive around the park and spot some game.• Get active – ride your mountain bike or go kay-aking/canoeing. Bikes, kayaks and canoes can be rented in Swellendam.• Braai next to the Breede. Wood can be bought at Bontebok National Park’s reception area, but don’t forget your grill and meat.• Spend the night in a chalet in Lang Elsie’s Kraal Rest Camp, arrive by caravan or pitch a tent on one of the many campsites.

SA Station SANAE

Since our first sighting of the hauntingly beautiful, ice-covered continent, human beings have shared an overwhelming sense

to discover all the diverse, hidden treasures that survive in the driest, windiest and untouched vast wilderness of white glaciers. Acknowledged as one of the most remote and inhospitable environments, there are a handful of people that wish to exist there in order to safeguard the continent through strategic and scientific purposes.

The ice sheet that covers the Antarctic continent has an approximate depth of 2.2 kilometres, with a depth of 5 kilometres in some regions. Each September the ice sheet reaches its maximum scope and covers an area 20 million square kilometres – an area larger than even South America. The lowest recorded temperature in Antarctica was -89˚ Celsius (Vostok Station ). The ice sheet plays a crucial role in controlling the earth’s temperature balance as it reflects more than 80 percent of the sun’s rays and acts as a barrier between the relatively warm ocean and the cold air in the winter months.

Global warming has had a significant effect on the ice sheet, causing the fragile environment to melt and sparking the interest of scientists and environmentalists the world over. The Antarctic ice sheet contains sufficient ice to raise world-wide sea level by more than 60 meters if melted completely. Studies of the ice cores by drilling into the ice have enabled scientists to reconstruct an uninterrupted and detailed climate record extending over hundreds of thousands of years, providing information on a wide variety

of aspects of climate at each point in time. Antarctic species are dramatically impacted by these changes and it has been noted that Krill populations have been declining around the West Antarctic Peninsula as sea ice has decreased. This has a negative subsidiary effect on various wildlife populations including the Emperor penguins, Adelie penguins, and Southern Right whale.

In 1959, South Africa with its close proximity to and long history in the Antarctic was one of the 12 original signatories to make up the Antarctic Treaty System. The Parties involved committed themselves to the complete protection of the Antarctic environment and dependent and related ecosystems and elected Antarctica as a natural reserve, dedicated to peace and science. South Africa has an enduring

commitment in Antarctic Research and exploration that is highly supported by government. The Antarctic Treaty System remains one of the most successful international agreements and includes some basic principles; • all military activities are forbidden, • scientific investigation is encouraged, • all attempts to use the natural resources for commercial use are banned, • all territorial claims are invalid.

SANAE IV is the existing exploration base of the South African National Antarctic Expedition and is part of the South African National Antarctic Program (SANAP). SANAE IV’s aim is to provide a permanent base for scientists responsible for research

projects under the sponsorship of SANAP. Investigations undertaken year-round are chiefly orientated around the physical sciences, while the summer months permit research in more varied fields such as oceanography, biology, geology and geomorphology. Recent projects have also focused on sources of renewable energy such as solar and particularly wind power generation.

bird biology. Anne feels there is a general lack of knowledge about Antarctica in South Africa in spite of having a station there and the importance of the research conducted. Cape Town in particular, as one of the 5 gateway towns to the Antarctic for Scientists and private travellers, has the largest potential to contribute to the education and understanding of this fascinating environment.

Cape Town could benefit from an Antarctic Information Centre similar to the establishment in Christchurch called the International Antarctic Centre which is designed to bring a powerful and memorable experience of Antarctica to visitors in a fun, exciting, informative and commercially successful way. This would open the door to educate not only school children as the future ambassadors for climate change but will encourage adults to make a difference. It is rumoured that the City of Cape Town is looking into this as a viable option and that there are private investors interested in making this a reality.

The Antarctic Company is dedicated to organising extraordinary tours and assisting with private expeditions from Cape Town to Queen Maud Land and the Antarctic interior. With more than 7 years experience in guiding and organising polar expeditions, TAC make sure that your Antarctic adventure will be a treasured

experience. Some wonderful options for prospective explorers to consider are Discover Queen Maud Land, Meet the Emperors of Antarctica, From the Pole to the Coast or you can request customized trips. Groups are normally no larger than 12 people including two guides per group due to the fact that this is a harsh environment and individual attention is paid to travellers to ensure your journey is an unparalleled experience.

In the year 2041 the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty could potentially be adapted. The aim of scientists, researchers and organisations like TAC and 2041 (founded by polar explorer, environmental leader and public speaker Robert Swan) is to work towards the ongoing defence of the Antarctic Treaty so that the last wild frontier on earth is never exploited. Once a traveller has set foot on this last wild frontier, it is said you will either never return or a passion for its preservation will forever hold sway in your heart and encourage you to return at every opportunity.

GREEN IS SMART

THE GREEN ECONOMY STRATEGY FRAMEWORK FOR

THE WESTERN PROVINCE

The Western Cape is South Africa’s major agricul-tural export area and most important international tourism draw-card, as well as being home to many prestigious tertiary education institutions, a key logistics node with two major ports, a major source of professional services for the national economy and a growing creative centre, recognized globally with Cape Town being awarded the World Design Capital 2014.

There are many initiatives across society and specific strengths within our economy that support our ambition to be a green economic leader – our built environment and design expertise, Informa-tion and Communications Technology (ICT) smart systems and mobile applications, leading research and development at our universities, green product development and world-first biodiversity initiatives.Our environmental brand and positioning gives us a head start and our good governance enables appropriate responses to a regulatory environment that is expected to become increasingly complex as the challenges of climate change and resource depletion intensify.

Our Green Economy Strategy Framework, GREEN IS SMART, is about achieving the double dividend of optimising green economic opportunities and enhancing our environmental performance. The Western Cape is expected to be among the prov-inces worst hit by climate change, with increasing drought conditions in a region that is already water-stressed. Our largest employer – agriculture – faces a particularly challenging future as the viability of crops is threatened by climate change.

Our extraordinary biodiversity is also under threat from climate change, as well as growing human demands. Added to that, our natural assets are not properly priced as part of our economic infrastruc-ture, putting them at risk of under-investment. This places tourism, an economic mainstay of the region, at risk, as it does agriculture.

The Western Cape, like the rest of South Africa, is extremely resource intensive. This exposes us to spiralling energy costs, carbon trade barriers and

water shortages and places our export competitive-ness under pressure. Growth in green investment and market opportunities sit at the centre of the strategy framework, supported by five drivers covering, for example, our living and working environments, eco-systems, and agriculture - and five enablers – such as energy infrastructure, finance and regulation. Successful sustainability requires significant job creation, and the framework has a specific focus on low-skilled employment opportunities.

Green is Smart sets priorities. It identifies where the Western Cape has the potential to be a pioneer and early adopter of technologies and economic activity that supports our strategic goal. Even then, we still need to be selective and clear about where we should start. Therefore, an action plan is being developed, with some programmes and projects already underway. In support of this framework, the Western Cape Government (WCG) is developing important building blocks:

• Institutional capacity is being enhanced. In particular, Green Cape - a WCG government-fund-ed, industry-led initiative – established in 2010 to support investors, is being significantly expanded. It proved an invaluable support to developers in the preparations for the national government’s renew-able energy roll-out.

• Re-enforcing policies and strategies have been or are being developed. Of particular relevance are Vision 2040 – the province’s long term socio-economic vision – the Western Cape Infrastructure Framework, and the Draft of the Western Cape Climate Change Response Strategy.

• 110% Green, the Western Cape Premier’s green economy programme, is growing as the platform to mobilise the whole of society around the green economy, through practical action, partnerships and networks.

The Strategy Framework starts with this core ambition: To position the Western Cape as the lowest carbon province in South Africa and the leading green economic hub of the African continent.The framework is premised on 5 key principles that drive our areas of focus and choices of action:

• Market focus: Green economic action needs to be based on market dynamics and strong potential market demands from the local to the global sphere.

• Private sector-driven: Investment to support green growth needs to be driven primarily by pri-vate enterprise and in particular by entrepreneurial businesses with the foresight and risk appetite for new economic endeavours.

• Public Sector-enabled: The principal value of public entities is to enable the green economy. Through procurement, they can create an important market and in doing so, provide both political and economic leadership through example.

• Collaboration: Innovation and market expansion require new forms of collaboration and partnering as greater uncertainty and complexity emerge in the economic, social and environmental nexus.

• Inclusion: Resource and climate change chal-lenges threaten economic exclusion. Inclusion needs to be integral to growth.

The strategy framework is made up of 5 drivers of the green economy that are market focused and principally private sector driven, and supported by 5 enablers that are either the domain of the public sector or the product of a collaborative effort.

Under each driver and enabler, we have identified a number of priorities, selected for their ability to:

• Deliver the double dividend of expanded economic activity and improved environmental performance

• Leverage the region’s existing economic strengths• Impact on the lives of the poor

• Deliver resultsThe priorities are categorised in terms of the West-ern Cape being firstly, a front-runner or pioneer and secondly, an early adopter of innovations and technologies that already exist but are not widely adopted in South Africa. They will be pursued in phases, with a few being priorities that will be game-changers for resource efficiency and inclu-sive green growth in the Western Cape

SMART LIVING AND WORKING

By creating opportunities through less resource intensive living and working environments and consumption patterns.The evidence clearly shows that our current con-sumption patterns exceed natural resource limits. Our waste profile is an important indicator of how much we need to do. About 80% of municipal waste in the Western Cape goes to landfills com-pared with less than 20% in best practice regions. While the Western Cape is making important advances in securing our natural assets and design-ing eco-friendly consumables, we require constant effort and consistent programmes to meet the challenges.

The most pressing challenge is to provide adequate services and living conditions for the urban poor.

Another challenge lies at local government level. Local governments, as electricity distributors, are ideally placed to influence the energy use of others, as well as reduce their own energy consump-tion (2% of the provincial total) through energy efficiency measures. However, the revenue model of municipalities is dependent on resource use and hence, the immediate impact of energy efficiency is revenue loss.

As such, there is an inbuilt disincentive to mu-nicipalities to encourage their consumers to save energy.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Green Buildings: The baseline for smart living and working is resource efficiency, especially of energy and water usage. This requires a combination of behavioural changes, new products and services, regulatory changes, incentives and financial support. National government already provides


GREEN IS SMARTsome incentives to reduce power usage, while the escalating price of electricity is pushing consum-ers towards energy saving devices and behavioural change.

Recent National Building Regulations have intro-duced new requirements for improved efficien-cies in the design of our buildings and choice of materials. Also, in the last three years there has been a significant increase in building construction in accordance with green building principles to achieve star ratings.

All this offers opportunities in local manufacture for solar water heaters, heat pumps, solar PV, water saving devices, insulation materials, glazing and much more. Importantly, the prices of many green devices and materials are consistently coming down as technologies improve and demand grows.

Sustainable Settlement Design: We need to look beyond only greening buildings. Our neighbour-hoods need to be reconfigured in ways which enable our citizens and the economy to prosper and flourish, for example by reducing the distances between living and working, creating infrastructure for non-motorised mobility, while increasing social interaction, maximising the use of bulk infrastruc-ture, such as water re-use systems and importantly, achieving zero waste. There are a host of potential opportunities for professionals in planning and design, construction and infrastructure as well as education, with expanded course offerings and new curricula.

Informal settlements provide a particular opportu-nity for planning, design capabilities and for new product development in the Western Cape. Finding appropriate solutions in the Western Cape will en-able local enterprises to respond to service demands in other African countries that are experiencing explosive urban growth.

If the Western Cape can successfully reshape a sustainable urban landscape, based on regional expertise and experience, it will be well placed to ‘export’ this knowledge to other African cities that face high rates of population growth. The Province is already a centre of water expertise that is exported worldwide.

Smart Systems for Smart Living: Information and Communications Technol-ogy (ICT) software and systems underpin smart living. The ICT reach and application is expanding exponentially, from smart meters and sensors to save water and electricity, to mobile apps that allow you to manage your home elec-tricity usage from afar, to in-tegrating transport systems and enabling commuters to make real time choices, to the organising of work. The globally recognized ICT design capabilities in the Western Cape offer the

potential to position the Province as an emerging market leader.

Waste as the Foundation: We have a high quality craft and design sector with strong elements of recycling and up-cycling, but we are far from tap-ping the potential opportunities. One such example is the beneficiation of agricultural waste (such as grape skins) into higher value products before use as waste-to-energy.

Buy Local: A key area of action is to change our consumption patterns in favour of locally produced products. This offers the potential of a lower carbon footprint by removing long distance, carbon intensive transportation while supporting local employment. Local production does not mean less competitive production, as found in the clothing industry.

To explore the suggested implementations of these opportunities, the paths that have been researched in the recent past, the innovation and changes to our lives and the prospectus businesses that lies in any of the subjects, the enabling environment that needs to be supported by both local government and investors and the market development that is to be generated by raising to those mentioned chal-lenges, can be fully investigated on The Western Cape Government economy strategy frame work document, 2013.

InfrastructureBoth the WCG and the City of Cape have pri-oritised ‘infrastructure-led growth’ as a driver of growth and employment in the region. For this reason, an extensive Western Cape Infrastructure Framework (WCIF) has been developed to align the planning, delivery and management of infra-structure, provided by all stakeholders (national, provincial and local governments, parastatals and the private sector) for the period to 2040. Infra-structure greening and resilience to climate change and resource constraints are an important element of this framework.

Rules and RegulationsThe green economy requires an enabling policy and

regulatory environment that makes doing business in the region easier.

A key challenge is to ensure that existing rules and regulations do not stifle the transition to a green growth path, and that effective processes are found to review the regulatory environment and facilitate change. But the management of climate change, resource constraints and the green economy will themselves require a range of new rules and regula-tions. This will present a significant challenge in terms of ensuring that these are appropriately framed and do not clog up the investment environ-ment with more red tape. This creates a strong demand for continual strategic review of the regula-tory framework.

There is an opportunity to improve the ease of doing business in the Western Cape through more co-ordinated government action as a basis for stimulating investment in the region.

Incentives and disincentives: Targeted incen-tives and disincentives play an important role in facilitating the transition towards a green economy. It is proposed that the Western Cape public sec-tor review the pricing of all resources, including water, energy and land to help identify where it may be able to introduce incentives and disincen-tives to promote behaviour change to a low-carbon economy. Currently, the WCG is piloting a number of behaviour economic pilots to facilitate change through new forms of incentives.

Carbon pricing: Pricing carbon is another im-portant tool to facilitate the transition to the green economy. This mandate lies at national govern-ment. It is proposed that the WCG promote the knowledge and the use of the voluntary carbon market as a means of off-setting increasing costs or additional taxes and to expand low carbon activi-ties, such as recycling.

Green procurement: Green procurement is an in-valuable tool for changing suppliers’ behaviour and creating a market for green products and services. It focuses on the supply chain or the system


GREEN IS SMARTof processes, technologies and other organisations that are involved in the creation and distribution of products and services to the customer. It typically consists of the most significant financial, environ-mental and social impacts (and opportunities) for a business. Public procurement is a particularly powerful tool that can support green investment.It is proposed that the public and private sectors collaborate to develop provincial wide green pro-curement standards drawing on existing preferential points that national government is introducing for locally supplied products and the still limited, but increasing swing towards low carbon products and resource efficiency services, particularly in the private sector.

FINANCE

The green economy requires financial resources and instruments that enable green investment and better managed environmental and resource-related financial risks.

The ConstraintThe green economy requires two broad areas of investment:• Infrastructure investment to reduce carbon emis-sions and pollution; enhance energy and resource efficiency; and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

• Information and industry-related investment to fund new and existing businesses to support growing activity in the green economy, with a goal towards creating jobs and kindling innovation.

Infrastructure investment is increasingly drawing on private capital, but invariably requires public finance to fill gaps and manage the risks associ-ated with new and alternative technologies as well as cost uncertainties. In South Africa, there is particular concern about the future capacity of municipalities being able to finance their infrastruc-ture needs. Both globally and in SA, the particular risks associated with green investment have meant that government and development finance institu-tions have needed to play a catalytic role, usually through special finance facilities.

In South Africa, there is a R800 million Green Fund (managed by the Development Bank of Southern Africa) and the Industrial Development Corporation’s growing green industries division, with a R500 million energy efficiency fund, offer-ing facilitative rates of finance with the support of the German government. The Western Cape is also the headquarters of major financial institutions and green private equity funds that service South Africa and other African countries, for example the R700 million Evolution One Fund of Inspired Evolution.

But, if the Western Cape wants to accelerate the transition to a green growth path faster than other regions in South Africa and join the global race, the provincial government, itself constrained in offer-ing financial incentives, needs to find new ways to leverage financial resources for investment.

Opportunities and SolutionsGiven the agglomeration of green professionals in

the Western Cape and the region’s existing strength as a financial asset management centre, there is opportunity to develop the Western Cape as a green finance centre, as a pioneer in green financial in-novation and risk management, and to expand the emergent green private equity presence.

Additionally, new forms of risk sharing are needed. The Western Cape has an existing strength in the insurance industry and will play a leading role in providing new models for managing risks. There would be value in investigating the potential of the WCG to develop a province-based financial facility and the benefits that could be derived from leveraging private sector finance in support of green growth.

PUBLIC SECTOR

The public sector is called on to play a leadership role in driving the green growth and inclusion agenda. As a large consumer of goods and services it has the ability to stimulate markets for green goods and services through changes to its procure-ment policies and purchases. The public sector also has a role to play in facilitating multi-stakeholder networks to catalyse partnerships and facilitate op-portunities for synergies between stakeholders, sec-tors and industries. Finally, it has a role to play as a funder and facilitator of initiatives to support skills development, infrastructure and the development of new financial mechanisms to catalyse innovation and business development in the green economy.

In particular the WCG will:• Use its government building asset base to lead the transition to more efficient energy and water technologies;

• Work with national government, Eskom and the City of Cape Town to develop LNG infrastructure in the Western Cape;

• Develop an innovative finance facility to support green investment through finance, expertise and ac-cess to finance, particularly for small and medium enterprises and municipalities.

• Roll-out current public works programmes to improve our ecosystems, with a view to achieving increased financial leverage from such programmes and hence improved job creation.• Support the agricultural sector to develop sustain-able farming practices through targeted technology development;

• Provide market development support and plat-forms for local entrepreneurs including developing the Western Cape’s green brand and product offer-ing across South Africa and the continent; and• Facilitate a green procurement drive in partner-ship with the private sector.

Local governments also have an important role to play by placing municipal services at the centre of their green economy strategies. Thus, they have key responsibilities in the areas of:

• Ensuring energy and water efficiency through incentives and pricing;• Minimising waste to landfill by facilitating recycling;

• Identifying land for smart settlement solutions and working with the private sector to develop these solutions; and

• Expanding the public transport network and smart mobility options either directly or indirectly using regulations and incentives.

Both provincial and local governments need to build awareness among all citizens and organisa-tions about the resource challenges facing the Western Cape and South Africa, as well as the op-portunities inherent in living and working in a new and different way.

PRIVATE SECTOR

The private sector must drive the green economy. Like the public sector, it also has a leadership role. As the producer of goods and services it has a responsibility to develop goods and services which are less resource intensive. This requires significant investment in research and development, innovation and then investment to develop the new products and business opportunities. The private sector is also a major consumer, providing huge opportunities via procurement of greener goods and services. There are opportunities to reduce the carbon and water footprints in the way work is carried out. There is a need to review how goods are packaged, transported and marketed. Minimis-ing waste is another responsibility which requires changing work processes or finding new uses for waste materials that create new economic opportu-nities for others. As an employer, the private sector also has a responsibility to retrain workers to meet the changing needs of the economy.

CONCLUSION

Green is Smart represents the first step in a journey to make the Western Cape the lowest carbon province in South Africa and the green economic hub of Africa. The green growth path is no longer merely a ‘good’ environmental option. It is the only economic option to ensure future generations can live well. We need to rethink business models and find new models that are based on sustainable use of renewable resources and recycling those that aren’t renewable. We also need to rethink wealth and focus not just on accumulation, but on living well today and in the future within the limits of the planet.

The transition ahead represents vast opportunities in developing and maintaining low-carbon, zero-waste homes, settlements and businesses. There are opportunities in mobility and infrastructure in managing bio-capacity, ecosystems, livelihoods and lifestyles. Enabling the change will create opportunities in finance, insurance, education, training and ICT. There will be new realities, rules and regulations and partners to engage. Smarter systems, people, designs, businesses and regions will prevail.

The WCG has decided to take the lead with the development of this strategy framework. It is a call for the whole of society to become engaged. We invite business, labour and civic leaders to join us in making a smart economy work in the Western Cape.

TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR A LIVABLE CAPE TOWN

downtown pedestrianized shopping area in the World. They built large numbers of beautiful parks to control floods rather than concrete canals. They use sheep to cut the grass as it’s more economical than lawnmowers. Curitiba is a city where 99% of inhabitants want to live. In comparison, 70% of Sao Paolo’s residents want to live in Curitiba.

They possess the highest recycling rate in the World – 70%.Curitiba’s average income per person has gone from less than the Brazilian average in the 1970’s to 66% greater than the Brazilian average. Textbook example of BRT, however, was incrementally built over 3 decades and they benefit from consistent political backing.

When approaching the planning for Cape Towns’ transport system a few mile stones had to be taken. On the physical side planners have identified and overlaid the different components that should be taken into consideration. Existing nodes in the present layout will have to be implemented into future plans- those are lightening the current intersection of Cape Towns’ life and will need to be either enhanced or alternatively untangled in the planning process but surly not to be ignored in order to not neglect any community or zone. The components are made of the current and projected distribution of population density, the current and projected areas of mass employment and the existing road infrastructure.

From the users’ side, a survey was made among the cities employees while relaying on their experience with the travel SMART ongoing experiment. The survey showed the three top barriers to shift from automobiles would be a safer and more reliable public transport, a more frequent service and that the public transport will be more accessible, especially to people’s homes.

Under the Urban Development umbrella planners will have to achieve a high level of usage during peak and off-peak by spreading the land use in a way that will create movement to different directions and in this way will enable an efficient transport system. This could be achieved by densification and mixed use along public transport corridors.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of the work sector, a freight strategy is also planned to integrate with the overall metropolitan plans. Transport for Cape Town oversees planning, contracting, finance, licensing, training, marketing and operator regulations that relate to public transport in Cape Town.

Transport for Cape Town commits to ensuring:• Infrastructure that is well maintained and is at a unified, high standard across the City. • That commuter’s experience seamless, safe and reliable public transport across all modes. • The system and network is responsive, well managed and integrated. • The governance structure for the rollout of the Integrated Transport Plan is sound and within the legislative parameters. The goal of Transport for Cape Town is to introduce an integrated transport system that allows for one network, one timetable, one ticket, one unified standard for structure and operations, as well as one transport enforcement unit.

In align with the vision for the great city of Cape Town in the coming decades and in order to meet

the needs of the changes in the economy& society while maintaining the guidelines for sustainable development, leaders and planners of the city are busy arranging and implementing an integrated system that will precede and direct the way for infrastructure to lead developments in a way that will meet its’ greater agenda.

Launched in the last quarter of 2012, Transport for Cape Town is responsible for the City’s 2013-2018 Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) and the Integrated Public Transport Network (IPTN), which addresses both road and rail transportation. In the implementation of these plans and projections they manage and control all aspects of Cape Town public transport, in an integrated, cost effective way, for the benefit of all commuters across the city.

The 5 pillars of the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) in transport terms are:1. Access to economic, social and recreational opportunities2. Transport that is safe at all times3. Caring for the Environment and special needs users 4. Accessible for all age and income groups5. Operates on time, with access to real-time information

The key components that the planners rely on are the demographic facts and predictions. In 2010 the population of Cape Town was estimated to be 3.7 million with an estimated annual growth rate of 3%. The population of Cape Town is projected to grow to between 4.3 and 5.0 million people by 2031; Cape Town has a young population profile with 28.3% of the population under 15 years and 5.2% over 64 years in 2009; In 2010 the estimated number of households in Cape Town was 1,060,964 and this is expected to increase to 1.45 million by 2019. In 2009 the average household size was

3.75;In 2009, 55.1% of all households in Cape Town had a monthly income under R 7,000 with 34.6% below the household poverty level of R 3, 500 per month.

In accordance to that data, The City of Cape Town is looking for the ways and means to avoid a situation that will result in high operating costs and the reliance on private cars for access to opportunities. Its aim is to design on a human scale - with neighbourhoods and facilities in walking distance of one another and a well-developed public transport system - that allows for equitable access to opportunities and active participation by all. A higher density, well designed and mixed land use environment,enables an affordable public transport system that operates at a standard that makes it competitive to the private car, and therefore accessible to all communities.

Efforts are put towards a transport system where multiple modes are integrated to ensure a seamless travel experience to all users,whether travelling for work, education, health, recreational or social reasons. The transport system must operate at a high standard to give confidence to choice users to position themselves around the system in order to derive the many benefits if offers, whether at trunk or feeder routes. A well designed urban environment will allow for shorter trip distances for which non-motorised trips by foot or bicycle will become the preferred mode of travel. In accordance with these goals, research was completed to discover the best examples that will aim to ease the processes of reinventing the system from around the globe and will assist with proven results, a system that with the right modifications will be able to accommodate the needs of Cape Town. The example that most resembles the needs of Cape Town was found in the City of Curitiba in Brazil.

Curitiba took the approach of “A city for people, not for cars”. That means that the bus system is of such a high standard that automobile traffic decreased by 30% while the population trebled in a twenty year period. They have the largest

TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR A LIVABLE CAPE TOWN

TRAVEL SMART ENCOURAGES SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT CHOICES

During the year under review, the City of Cape Town launched its innovative Travel SMART programme aimed at encouraging Capetonians to choose more sustainable transport options. A primary focus of the programme is convincing commuters to leave their cars – often singleoccupancy vehicles (SOVs) – at home, particularly when travelling to and from work. Currently in its pilot phase, the programme, which is funded by the United Nations Development Programme, has partnered with six other large employers, including Province, in the Cape Town CBD.

Their shared goal is to create awareness among staff and encourage a shift to more sustainable transport options, including public transport, lift clubbing (carpooling), active mobility and non-motorised commuting, such as walking or cycling. In addition to discouraging SOV use, the Travel SMART programme is aimed at reducing vehicle emissions, lowering travel costs for commuters, and easing congestion on the city’s roads. The programme has been selected as one of the flagship projects for Province’s ‘110% Green’ campaign, which was recently launched on World Environment Day.

CITY TO SPEND R321 MILLION ON UPGRADING PUBLIC TRANSPORT INTERCHANGES

The City will be upgrading and expanding Cape Town’s public transport interchanges over the next five years to accommodate the growth in demand for access and mobility. A total of 25 high-commuter-traffic interchanges have been identified to receive special focus as part of the project, which is anticipated to cost around R321 million.

This improvement programme forms part of the City’s mobility strategy, which supports the development of a balanced transport system. It focuses on all elements of the transport system, including rail, bus, taxi, cycling, pedestrians, parking management, freight and traffic management information and data. This will be undertaken under the banner of Transport for Cape Town, so as to ensure synergy and a collaborative approach.

CITY STARTS STUDY INTO POSSIBLE BIKE SHARE PROGRAMMEImagine being able to hire a bicycle to get from one point to another before dropping it off again and being able to continue with your business. Cape Town could soon join major cities such as London, New York and Paris in offering this exciting and in-novative mobility option for residents and visitors.

At the beginning of July, Transport for Cape Town - the City of Cape Town's newly established transport authority - launched a study to consider the feasibility of creating such a bicycle share programme in the centre of the city.

It would involve a network of publicly available bicycles in defined areas of the central city where people can hire them at affordable rates and are able to return them to any other defined location in the network. It will also capitalise on Cape Town's expanding cycle lane network.

"Bike riding and non-motorised transport are im-portant aspects of the vision of an integrated public transport network across the city, providing local connections and helping to make Cape Town a 'liveable city'," says Mayoral Committee Member: Transport for Cape Town, Councillor Brett Herron."Cities around the world are beginning to identify bike-sharing as a mode of public transport, provid-ing an alternative to individual vehicle trips."

The benefits of a bike-share scheme are numerous,

and include improved health and well-being; im-proved mobility and access for residents; improved connectivity between transport modes; an afford-able alternative to cars and other forms of public transport; increased retail exposure and activity; a reduction in parking and traffic congestion as well as fewer carbon emissions.

The feasibility study is expected to take several months and will consider various aspects such as fi-nancial and operating structures as well as learning from and implementing best practice from other cit-ies with similar schemes such as London's Barclays Bikes, Paris's Velib and Washington DC's Capital Bikes. However, Herron points out that Cape Town has vastly different socio-economic circumstances to these cities, and "we need an operating model that will work here".

The study will also consider whether to use a smartcard payment system, such as the myconnect card currently used for MyCiTi buses. This kind of electronic payment system would allow the City to monitor the use of the bicycles and to be able to make improvements to the system over time.

A number of advantages and benefits to successful bike-share schemes have been identified, including the fact that the programme: • Improves the health and wellness of residents who are encouraged to increase physical activity; • Improves mobility and access for residents; • Provides improved connectivity between various transit modes and acts as a feeder service to motor-ised transit services;

• Provides an affordable alternative to cars and other forms of public transport; • Boosts retail exposure and activity;• Reduces parking demands; • Reduces carbon emissions; • Reduces traffic congestion.

“A Cape Town bike-share service should offer affordable access to bikes, especially for short distance trips. In conjunction with our expanding cycle lane network, a successful bicycle sharing service will reduce traffic congestion, the need for on-street parking, fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Obviously, cycling will also contribute to the health and well-being of our residents,” said Councillor Herron.

10 best cities for bike share that don’t have it yet

2 Santa Monica, CA, USA10,600 ppl/sq miAll bias aside (BikeShare.com is headquartered in Santa Monica), this city by the sea is primed for a bike share program. Its year-round tourist population, sunny weather, flat topography, and growing bike infrastructure would take to bike share like Philadelphia took to the cheesesteak.

6 Portland, OR, USA4,400 ppl/sq miOne would be hard-pressed to find a more bike-friendly city in the United States than Portland. Despite the torrential downpours, Portlandia is a cycling mecca boasting one of the best bike mode shares in the country. And all those cyclists, public transit, and bike infrastructure spell good news for a bike share program, which should be coming in 2014.

8 Honolulu, HI, USA5,500 ppl/sq miWhile Honolulu is known more for its travel by waves than by two wheels, a bike share system would compliment the tourist destination well. The city faces the second worst traffic in the United States and has one of the biggest tourist populations in the world. Instead of taking the gas-guzzling rental mobile to the beach, tourists would revel at the opportunity to avoid downtown traffic and be able to easily coast from hotel to sandy paradise... And then to a beachfront piña colada.

9 Bogota, Columbia13,000 ppl/sq miUnder the leadership of Enrique Penalosa, Bogata has been transformed into one of South America's most bike friendly cities. The city understands the value of the bicycle as trans-port. And with the year-round tropical climate, strong tourist population, and developing bike infrastructure, bike share would fit right in.

3 Cape Town, South Africa4,300 ppl/sq miCape Town has been interested in bike share for awhile. (They were talking about it back in 2009 when “bike share” still hadn’t been trans-lated from French and Dutch.) But they haven’t done much about it. And we don’t know of a better city in Africa for a full-fledged pro-gram. Its bike culture is burgeoning, its infrastructure is growing, and its tourist population is steady--Cape Town, here bike share comes.

10 Phuket, Thailand2,300 ppl/sq miWhat Phuket lacks in bike infrastructure, it makes up for in tourists and urban develop-ment. And don’t let the low population den-sity fool you--the island city is oriented toward its visitors. The close proximity of hun-dreds of destinations makes transportation by foot and bike the best way to get around. Bike share, meet your new best friend.

4 Lima, Peru7,300 ppl/sq miPeru has entered a long-term relationship with the bicycle. In 2010, the country introduced a national policy that gives priority to bike legislation and pro-motes the development of bike infrastructure. With Lima as the socio-economic center of the country, we see few better places for a bike share program in South America.

7 Malmö, Sweden9,500 ppl/sq miMajestic Malmö. Modest urban beauty; an urban planner’s dream city. Its innovative bike infrastructure is some of the best in the world. The only thing holding it back from eclipsing its fellow bike-friendly European cities is an extensive bike share program.

5 Philadelphia, PA, USA11,500 ppl/sq miWhen you think of Philadelphia, what comes to mind? Football? A cheesesteak? Always Sunny? Well, while those are parts of Philadelphia, it turns out they also have a very strong bike community to go along with some quality bike infrastructure. The city is expected to issue a RFP for operations/equipment soon and we should see a program in Phily by this time next year.

1 Tokyo, Japan16,000 ppl/sq miWith the densest urban population in the developed world and extensive (albeit crowded) public transit and bicycle infra-structure, this mega-city is ready for a city-wide bike share program. It currently has a handful of electric bikes for hire, but hardly enough to serve the first and last mile demands of transit riders.

For the purposes of this infographic, a city that is “good” for bike share is, simply put, one that will likely have a high usage rate based on tourism, weather, topography, bike infrastruc-ture, traffic congestion, bike mode share, and population density. There are, however, many other metrics to determine how well a bike share system will work in an urban area.

GOING PLACESThe Cape Town Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT) system, MyCiTi, is a bold initiative to transform the public transport sector by dramatically improving the customer’s experience thereof. This initiative will seek to integrate all of the current transport modal options into a coherent package.

Among the modes to be integrated are: Metrorail services, road-based services on trunk routes, conventional bus services, minibus taxi integra-tion, feeder bus services, improved pedestrian and bicycle access, metered taxi integration and park-and-ride facilities.

The principal way in which the City of Cape Town will transform the road-based public transport services is a concept known as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). BRT is a high-quality bus-based transit system that delivers fast, comfortable, and cost-effective urban mobility with segregated right-of-way infrastructure, rapid and frequent operations, and excellence in marketing and customer service.

BRT has virtually all the performance and comfort of a modern rail-based transit system but at a frac-tion of the cost – typically four to 20 times less than a tram or light rail transit system and 10 to 100 times less than a rail system.

The central defining feature of BRT is its focus on customer service. Dedicated, median bus ways provide customers with dramatically reduced travel times. Because the vehicles move quickly in peak hour, more people are encouraged to switch from private car use to public transport, which makes the whole system far more viable. The dedicated lanes also reduce operating costs so that fare levels are quite affordable.

Special attention is also given to safety and security through the presence of extensive security person-nel and the use of CCTV cameras.

HISTORYThe improvement of public transport is one of eight key strategic focus areas identified by the City of Cape Town in its Integrated Development Plan for achieving its long-term vision and develop-mental goals. Public transport plays a vital role in providing all citizens and visitors with access to opportunities and facilities, whether for economic, education, health, recreation or social purposes.

Since 2007 the City has been working on the first phase of an Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT) system in Cape Town, aimed at significantly improving public transport in the City. The first leg of this IRT system is the dedicated work on the MyCiTi IRT system. While this first leg is primarily a ‘Bus Rapid Transit’ system, it is designed in a way that emphasises the need for integration with other modes, especially rail, the backbone of public transport in Cape Town.

The City is implementing the MyCiTi service in phases. The first elements of the system enabled the City to meet the public transport requirements for hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This service consisted of an events service to the Cape Town Stadium, a service to the Airport and a temporary service around the inner city.

In May 2011, the first network was launched. This consisted of a route between the Civic Centre station in central Cape Town and Table View; temporary services around the residential areas of Table View, Blaauwberg and Parklands, connecting to the main route; and a connecting temporary route around the central city.

In early 2013, a route between Salt River railway station and the central city was launched, serving the historic Walmer Estate and District Six areas.

Later in the 2013, new routes launched covering areas including Oranjezicht, Tamboerskloof, and the Atlantic Seaboard suburbs which includes Sea Point, Camps Bay, and Hout Bay.

New routes are also being extended to areas north of the central city, including Atlantis, the informal settlements of Dunoon and Joe Slovo Park, the in-dustrial area of Montague Gardens, and the seaside suburb Melkbosstrand.

The second phase will provide a more extensive service to the southeast parts of the city, including Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha, to destinations across the peninsula. The third phase will include Belville, Delft, the rest of the northern suburbs and Stellenbosch, and the fourth phase the Greater Helderberg area.

The full system is expected to take about 15-20 years to implement, with each phase being built as funds become available. Most of the funding comes from the National Department of Transport’s Public Transport Infrastructure and Systems Grant, with the balance funded by the City.

The aim is to eventually build a reliable, safe and cost-effective transport network within 500m of 75% of the homes in the city.

WHAT TO LOOK FORN2 Express Service- End of 2013Planning for the launch of an express service linking the Khayelitsha CBD, Site C Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain with Civic Centre station in Cape Town’s CBD is underway and the aim is to begin operations by the end of 2013. The proposed service will provide an express connection using the N2 freeway.

It will use the dedicated bus and minibus taxi lane along the N2 inbound lanes, and will operate in mixed traffic when the service is outbound.

In Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha the service will operate along major roads with quick access onto the N2. Stations will be built in Mitchells Plain and Site C, Khayelitsha. Services are planned to operate every 10 minutes in the peak and every 30 minutes at other times.

The N2 express service is planned to alleviate pres-sure onthe rail services from Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha, and is seen as a short-term measure.

A full suite of MyCiTi services for the southeast suburbs of Cape Town will be planned and devel-oped as part of phase 2. The N2 express service does provide an opportunity to test approaches and innovations prior to the full roll out of phase 2.

Phase 1B- 2014Phase 1B will provide the remaining services within the West Coast corridor to ensure a full complement of public transport services. Services will run between Montague Gardens, Century City, Summer Greens, Edgemead, Richwood, Maitland and Salt River Rail station.

GOING PLACESSYSTEM INFRASTRUCTUREMyCiTi operates in different ways depending on the area being served. Some of the factors the system design takes into account are passenger demand, whether the area is largely residential or industrial, the width of the roads and space on the pavements.

Currently on main routes, larger (high-floor) buses stop at glass-enclosed stations in the median or middle of the road. These stations allow for quick,level boarding and easy transfers to other routes. The buses on these routes usually travel on their own dedicated red lanes, or as on the N2, in lanes reserved for public transport vehicles during peak hours.

On local routes, smaller low-floor buses stop at the side of the road at stops or bus shelters.

PRIORITISING PUBLIC TRANSPORTOne of the core principles of the MyCiTi system is that public transport should take precedence over private vehicles. This is to ensure high levels of ser-vice for public transport users and to encourage car users to make the shift from cars to buses.

At intersections with MyCiTi main routes motorists will notice a special signalling system that gives buses right of way. This is so that they can stop at stations and then move off straight away. There are also upgraded pedestrian crossings to allow people walking to the stations to cross the road safely.

In many areas where there is significant traffic, MyCiTi stops are built so that they allow buses to stop in the traffic lane as opposed to pulling into a bus bay. These peninsula stops have many advantages.

Buses can pull up directly alongside the special raised pavements with a special ‘kassel’ kerb, which protects the tyres when docking close to the pavement, while allowing passengers to enter the

bus without having to climb steps. This is easier and quicker and wheelchair users can roll right in.

The traffic waits behind, which allows the bus to move off immediately making the service faster and more convenient for users. The wait will not be long, as users pay by tapping their cards the driver does not have to take cash or provide tickets.Peninsula stops take up considerably less space than a bus embayment, which leaves more space available for on-street parking.

WALKING AND CYCLINGThe MyCiTi integrated rapid transit system is being designed to make it easy for users to choose public transport instead of private cars. Most users will need to walk a short distance before they are able to

board a bus, while some may want to cycle. Historically pedestrian and bicycle access in South African cities has been inadequate. MyCiTi aims to create a safe and pleasant pedestrian environ-ment around stations and stops, which contributes to the overall quality of the MyCiTi experience. In countries where public transport use is widespread the public health benefits are also tangible, as users increase their daily exercise and avoid the stress of driving in congested traffic or on poor quality transport services.

To encourage cycling and provide a more integrat-ed experience, bicycles are allowed onto MyCiTi buses and cycle racks are available in the vicinity of many of the stations.

CAPE TOWN IS FITTEST CITY IN SOUTH AFRICAThe South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES) released on 6 August 2013, paints a grim picture of the country’s medical status, however, research published on 12 June 2013 shows that Cape Town is the country’s fittest city in terms of physical activity related health and infrastructure.

The ‘Vitality Fittest City Index’, undertaken by Discovery Health’s Vital-ity wellness programme in conjunction with various industry experts, also ranked Cape Town highly in terms of the percentage of people who indicated that they participated in at least moderate levels of physical activity.

The city also has the highest number of sports facilities per 100 000 people compared to the six major metros in South Africa.

“As a Caring City, our intention is to provide quality recreational and sporting facilities of a world-class standard within easy access of the communities they serve,” says the City’ Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Special Projects, Alderman Belinda Walker.

The City’s Sport, Recreation and Amenities Department provides 166 formal sport complexes, 16 indoor sport facilities and 36 swimming pools. In the next few months, the City will be opening four full-sized synthetic pitches, bringing the total to 12, while a further four will be constructed during the current financial year. Five new spray parks will be opened before the start of the Festive Season.

The City’s own Recreation Research Study conducted two years ago found that Capetonians were more interested in recreational programmes such as health and fitness, arts, crafts and games than formal sports such as soccer and cricket.

Since then, the City has opened 30 recreational hubs across Cape Town, with a focus on after-school activities, learn-to-swim programmes, fitness and life skills as well as providing activities for seniors. This includes mind-stimulation games, jumping castles, face-painting, arts and crafts, darts, foosball and hula-hooping.

“We are doing what we can to encourage a healthy and active lifestyle. We want people to partake actively in sporting and recreational activities rather than just watching them on television,” says Alderman Walker.

A LOOK INTO OUR FUTUREMandated by the Municipal Systems Act, Act

32 of 2000,and other legislation, the City of Cape Town’s Integrated Development Plan (IDP) provides the strategic framework that guides the municipality’s planning and budgeting over the course of each political term. Given the almost simultaneous occurrences of a political election and organisational processes, some administrations in the past experienced a disconnection between the political leadership and the organisation.

This means that some IDP’s may have been produced without sufficient investigation into, and guidance on, the requirements of the people of Cape Town. This IDP, however, has reversed that trend and has been produced based on the detailed input of the people whom the City of Cape Town (hereinafter ‘the City’)has the privilege of serving.

When the new City administration was elected, a strong plan of action for Cape Town was devel-oped. This was based on a clear understanding of what needs to be achieved during this term of of-fice: We wanted to create a more inclusive society by working towards greater economic freedom for all the people of the city. This requires us to increase opportunities by creating an economically enabling environment in which investment can grow and jobs can be created.

We set out to do this by building on the five key pillars of:• The opportunity city: The core focus of the op-portunity city is to create an economically enabling environment in which investment can grow and jobs can be created. Only by having a job can peo-ple make the most of their lives and attain dignity.

• The safe city: Citizens need to be safe in their city. If they feel threatened by violence or crime, they can never truly access the opportunities that the city and fellow citizens offer them.

• The caring city: In order to be a world-class city, Cape Town must be welcoming to all people. It must make residents feel at home and allow them to feel that their government is doing everything it can to provide for them, truly enabling them to access opportunities.

• The inclusive city: An inclusive city is one where everyone has a stake in the future and enjoys a sense of belonging. For historical reasons, the South African society has been divided along artificial lines. While we have come a long way in terms of addressing many of those divisions, there is still work to be done. An inclusive city, however, also strongly relies on the proper functioning of the programmes in the other focus areas in order to give meaning to this concept.

• The well-run city: A well-run city is the guarantor of all other government programmes. Citizens need to know that their government works for them, is accountable to them and answers to them at all times. Governments manage public resources and programmes. As such, they must be constantly scrutinised in public to ensure responsible manage-ment. The underlying tenets of a well-run city are the principles of openness and due process.

These five pillars help focus the City’s message and purpose of delivery. They also help us to translate our electoral mandate into the organisational struc-tures of the City.

By having an expansive view of development as the building of a total environment that allows individ-uals to reach their full potential, we acknowledge the critical importance of a multitude of factors. To produce any long-term outcome, one must plan for all the variables that influence the equation. That is the logic behind a consolidated strategy that works. As such, the City recognises it must try and influ-ence as many processes as possible to ensure that all of the tools at its disposal work together towards a common aim.

It is one thing to have a grand concept of govern-ment. It is quite another to translate that concept into a bureaucracy that must synchronise its efforts to realise its vision. That is why the five pillars have become the beacons that guide the City and inform its plans for delivery.

In this IDP, these pillars are called strategic focus areas(SFAs). We have carefully measured all City programmes to determine into which of these five focus areas they best fit. The result is a detailed matrix that enables effective programme implemen-tation and accurate performance measurement of the focus areas.

Being able to measure outcomes and outputs is vital, as it allows us to determine whether we are actually delivering on the objectives of each SFA. This requires taking what is in essence a qualitative measure and quantifying it. In doing so,a scheme is established that allows for the rational assessment of our mandate, mapped across all City directo-rates. Confident of the effectiveness of this formula of principles working together as parts of a greater whole, we have also created a formula for their implementation and assessment.

Sometimes, there is debate within the City regard-ing the SFA in which a particular objective or programme should be measured. This is healthy and serves to reinforce our view that these strategic areas complement each other and exist because of each other rather than in isolation.

While these programmes and objectives are often interdependent and may even cut across focus areas,classifying them allows us to measure their outcomes effectively. They ultimately act together in the matrix of consolidated outcomes. For exam-ple, an outcome classified as an ‘opportunity’ SFA may therefore very well also increase ‘inclusion’.

That is the intention. Working together, these areas will produce the objectives of our administration and help us address the structural inequalities of the past. They will help us fulfil our constitutional mandate, as local government, of being the drivers of social and economic development. And they will help change people’s lives.

The IDP is the City’s principal strategic planning instrument,from which various other strategic docu-ments will flow. It informs planning and develop-ment in the City.We are also mindful that we will have opportunities

for greater, regional, long-term strategies arising from the City Development Strategy and the Future Cape process. For this reason, the IDP is aligned with the outcomes of National Government as well as the key objectives of the Western Cape Provin-cial Government (hereinafter ‘Province’). The City has also incorporated the outputs required in terms of its Turnaround Strategy into its medium-term planning.

The IDP has been developed with maximum par-ticipation. This has involved input from all levels of the administration– from Mayoral Committee (Mayco) members, to councillors and sub-councils, representatives from all directorates, and the most senior officials in each department.

The process has also involved the most extensive public participation process ever undertaken by the City. Citizens across the metro were canvassed for their input and opinions via numerous channels, including public meetings, newspaper inserts, infor-mation brochures, websites and social media.

Based on this inclusive approach, this IDP describes the programmes under each SFA, as in-formed by the over arching principle of infrastruc-ture-led growth. Working together, these SFAs will take Cape Town to the next level of government and into the future it deserves.

INFRASTRUCTURE-LED GROWTHThe City will continue to invest in infrastructure to ensure that Cape Town has the capacity to support development. As cities expand, their industries and people need to be supported by adequate services, from electricity, water and other amenities to additional services that aid modern development beyond the basics, such as a broadband network and public transport networks.

By continuously investing in infrastructure, we will be encouraging and, indeed, leading growth by always ensuring the physical supporting capacity for people to build opportunities. Such an approach places the City of Cape Town at the forefront of South African metros and will bring us in line with international best practice in terms of development strategies.

Over the next five years, the City will be investing in a number of major infrastructure projects. These include the following:

• Landfill space and other strategic infrastructure to support waste management;

• Additional funding for the expansion of the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC);

• Back yarder service programmes, extending municipal services to backyard communities in Cape Town;

• Service upgrades in informal settlements;

• Redevelopment of the Bellville Velodrome;

• Broadband infrastructure project for the Cape metro area network;

• Rehabilitation and reconstruction of metro roads;


A LOOK INTO OUR FUTURE


A LOOK INTO OUR FUTURE• Extension of the MyCiTi service as part of Cape Town’s Integrated Rapid Transit (IRT ) system;

• Upgrades to, and refurbishment of, electricity services;

• Infrastructure programme for bulk water re-sources; and

• Wastewater capacity upgrades at Zandvliet, Bell-ville and Potsdam.

By providing excellent services and continuing to invest in infrastructure, we will gain a competi-tive advantage over other metros in South Africa and will influence development patterns. The City can no longer disregard the urgent need for infrastructure maintenance and upgrades in its older urban areas, specifically its economic areas. In the future,greater balance will be required between in-vestment in infrastructure that supports Greenfield development, and existing infrastructure mainte-nance and upgrades.

CAPE TOWN SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKIn May 2012, the Cape Town Spatial Develop-ment Framework (CTSDF) was approved as part of the IDP in terms of section 34 of the Municipal Systems Act, Act 32 of 2000, and by the Provincial Minister of Local Government,Environmental Af-fairs and Development Planning in terms of section 4(6) of the Land Use Planning Ordinance, No. 15 of 1985.

The CTSDF will guide the spatial form and struc-ture of Cape Town (the way in which we use the space available for urban growth) in the future. This long-term plan, extending over 20 years or more, will enable the City to manage new growth and change in Cape Town, to ensure that we live in a more sustainable and equitable city, and to see to it that the City works for all. The plans and policies of the CTSDF:

• indicate the areas best suited to urban development,the areas that should be protected, and the areas where development may occur if it is

sensitively managed;

• provide investors with a clear idea of where they should invest;

• guide public investment in infrastructure and social facilities; and

• will be used to assess applications submitted by property developers and to guide changes in land-use rights.

The CTSDF does not grant or take away zoning rights. The spatial ideas and building blocks that will shape how the city grows and put Cape Town on a more sustainable,equitable development path include the following:

• Resilience – The spatial organisation of the city must be flexible in order to respond and adapt to change.

• A city within a region – Cape Town’s functional inter relationships with neighbouring towns require better coordinated planning, budgeting and growth as well as resource management.

• Natural assets – The natural resources that make Cape Town a unique and desirable place to live should shape where and how the city develops.

• The multidirectional accessibility grid – The spatial organisation of the city must shift towards a grid-based movement system that facilitates convenient access and multidirectional movement. Activity and development routes are key elements of the grid.

• Areas of land-use intensification – A diverse mix of land uses should be concentrated in accessible, high opportunity locations. Areas of land-use in-tensification include development corridors, urban nodes, strip development and civic precincts.

• Development edges and growth directions – City growth should be managed through develop-ment edges, which contain sprawl and protect natural,heritage and urban areas. Identified growth directions will serve to direct urban expansion in the medium to longer term.

• Destination places – Landmarks or locations that are significant points of attraction and form part of Cape Town’s unique identity should be protected and enhanced, while new destination places should be developed.

For the City to meet the commitments outlined in the CTSDF and sector-based policies, all plans and budgets need to be aligned in the IDP. In addition, the IDP needs to be supported by a 15 year growth management plan that provides a link between the CTSDF and medium term sector plans, master plans, and strategic and asset maintenance invest-ment priorities. This growth management plan needs to align investment locations and establish clear targets and programmes for capital expendi-ture.

It should be reviewed annually when the IDP is reviewed. For the growth management plan to be effective, it needs to be developed in collaboration with all spheres of government, surrounding mu-nicipalities, the private sector and communities.

The objectives of the growth management plan will be to:

• identify and spatially depict sector-linked inter-vention sand investment;

•harmonise spatial and infrastructure forward plan-ning;

• determine the preferred phasing of the city’s spatial development;

• identify infrastructure hot spots where enhance-ment of development rights may need to be limited in the short to medium-term, and establish monitor-ing mechanisms to review their status;

• prioritise and align the priority action areas spa-tially and by sector;

• identify the cross-sector programming and project level planning and budgeting required to support the implementation of the prioritised action areas;

• identify the policies, the economic, administra-tive/regulatory and financial measures and/or insti-tutional arrangements that need to be investigated or introduced to support implementation in the priority action areas;

• align the City’s budget spatially and across sec-tors; and

• align the City’s capital budget with that of sur-rounding municipalities and spheres of government.

In the preparation of the CTSDF, a number of short to medium-term priority action areas of metro-politan significance were identified. These need to be supplemented by the priority action areas identified in the district-based spatial development plans (SDPs),aligned with sector-based strategic and asset maintenance investment priorities, and prioritised through the IDP and 15 year growth management plan.

CONCLUSIONCities around the world are becoming drivers of

COMMUNITY GROW’S (URBAN DESIGN COMPANY) FOR WESTERN CAPE VISION


A LOOK INTO OUR FUTUREgrowth. Regional centres, revolving around cities, have become the hub of economic activity. As urbanisation accelerates, the size and power of cit-ies will only increase. That growth,however, brings with it a concomitant growth in needs.

As a city, Cape Town must position itself to embrace these twin realities and maximise growth, while providing services to a growing population. As economic growth shifts to the more dynamic developing world, we must do all we can to ensure that we are part of that shift.

Only innovative and dynamic policies that make us a flexible city can help us in that task. The plans articulated in this IDP will go some way towards helping us position ourselves for the opportunities of the future, and will guide us as we work to build the African city of the future, today.

HOW THE CITY CONTRIBUTES TO THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

NDP chapter 3: Economy and developmentThe objective relates to the implementation of public employment programmes, with which the City aligns through its Expanded Public Works Programme (EPWP)implementation.

NDP chapter 4: Economic infrastructureThis objective relates to the provision and sustain-ability of services such as water, electricity and public transport, and the establishment of a fibre-optic network that can provide competitively priced and widely available broadband. To achieve this, the City continuously strives to maintain and invest in its water and electricity infrastructure, and is implementing a fibre-optic network programme.

NDP chapter 5: Environmental sustainability and resilienceThis objective also relates to the implementation of public employment programmes, and the City aligns through its Expanded Public Works Pro-gramme (EPWP)implementation.

NDP chapter 6: Inclusive rural economy, and chapter 7: South Africa in the region and the worldThese objectives have no direct impact on the City of Cape Town.

NDP chapter 8: Transforming human settle-mentsThis objective relates to how municipalities should spatially enable the densification of cities to pro-mote a better mix of human settlements, which will allow people to live closer to their places of work, and the implementation of a better public transport system, which will in turn facilitate integration. The City responds through its densification, integrated human settlements as well as public transport programmes.

NDP chapter 9: Improving education,training and innovationThis objective relates to early childhood develop-ment, while also ensuring that artisans enter the job market. The City’s women and child health services, such as family planning and immuni-sation, along with targeted ECD development programmes, contribute to this objective.

NDP chapter 10: Health care for allThis objective relates to access to primary health care by improving tuberculosis (TB) prevention and cure, reducing maternal, infant and child mortality, and reducing injury,accidents and violence. This is supported by the City’s implementation of women and child health services, such as preventive, promotional and curative services and TB control; attempts to establish a law enforcement as well as a fire and rescue reserve member service, and enhanced speed enforcement capacity.

NDP chapter 11: Social protectionThis objective relates to the need for all children to have proper nutrition, employment opportunities to be created through skills development, and for all people, especially women and children, to feel safe. The City’s programme comprises awareness rais-ing, improving child safety, meeting wellness and nutrition needs, and leveraging the City’s resources (human and financial) to provide training and de-velopment opportunities for currently unemployed youth.

NDP chapter 12: Building safer communitiesThis objective relates to the need for all people, especially women and children, to feel safe at home, at school and at work, and to enjoy an active community life free of fear. To this end, the City has implemented a programme for neighbour-hood safety officers (NSOs) per ward and selected schools, is extending the neighbourhood watch assistance project into new areas, and is expanding the VPUU programme.

NDP chapter 13: Building a capable and devel-opmental stateThis objective relates to the state playing a develop-ment land transformative role. It entails that staff at all levels should have the competence, experience and authority to perform their jobs, and that the relationship between the spheres of government should improve and be managed more pro-actively.

To comply, the City will use property and land to leverage social issues and implement a human resources, talent management and skills develop-ment programme. The City will also contribute to the creation of a capable and developmental state through ongoing collaboration with the National Department of Transport,Province and the Pas-senger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA)/Metrorail on the rail services improvement and upgrade programme, and will partner with Province in providing and maintaining education and school sites.

NDP chapter 14: Fighting corruptionThis objective relates to achieving a corruption- free society, high adherence to ethics throughout society, and a government that is accountable to its people. The City aligns with this objective through its establishment of an external audit committee and an effective system to process complaints (and report corruption). A financial management programme through the Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) along with a management accountability programme will focus on training managers in identified core administrative business processes in order to ensure improved account-ability.

NDP chapter 15: Nation building and social cohesionThis objective relates to the need for citizens to accept that they have both rights and responsibili-ties, and, most critically, the pursuit for a united, prosperous, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa. To achieve this outcome, the City’s objective to ensure increased access to innova-tive human settlements for those who need it, and providing community facilities, will make citizens feel at home. Strengthening community capac-ity to prevent crime and disorder, and managing service delivery through the service management programme, ensures cohesion.

WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL 2014

THE JOURNEY SO FAR … Cape Town was designated World Design Capital 2014 at the International Design Alliance (IDA) Congress in October 2011 in Taipei. The WDC des-ignation is bestowed biennially by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID).

World Design Capitals recognise the value of design thinking, and are dedicated to using design as a tool for social, cultural and economic develop-ment. Previous designates have been Helsinki, Seoul and Turin, while Cape Town won the 2014 bid against fierce competition from rival short listed cities, Bilbao and Dublin.

The winning bid is a proudly African story, with the ultimate goal of achieving a sustainable, inclu-sive and more liveable African city, rooted in the strengths of our people and communities. As the first developing nation city to be awarded World Design Capital 2014, we will use the designation as catalyst for knowledge sharing across the African continent and beyond.

Globally Cape Town and South Africa will gain reputation as a leading producer of creative design solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time – an African city of design-led innovation and inspiration.

Since the launch of Cape Town Design NPC and the appointment of its CEO AlayneReesberg in January this year, World Design Capital Cape Town 2014 (WDC 2014) has been a whirlwind of activity and energy.

From Milan to Manila, the Cape to the Highveld, Stellenbosch, Khayelitsha and many other places in between, the WDC 2014 team has been hard at work building awareness and opportunity both lo-cally and internationally across design communities and platforms.

Cape Town Design NPC, the implementation company of the WDC 2014, is an independent, not-for-profit organization and was appointed by the City of Cape Town and its partners to ensure that the requirements of the WDC 2014 Host City Agreement are met.

Reesberg is well-placed to lead WDC 2014 - she was educated at UCT and then followed a career in diplomacy, witnessing two seminal political events

– the end of the Cold War that started the process of Cuban troop withdrawal out of southern Angola (and led to Namibian independence), and the re-lease of Nelson Mandela in 1990, which saw South Africa propelled on a path to democracy.

In 1997 Alayne graduated with a Master’s degree in Communication Studies, and moved to manage-ment consulting. After graduating, she spent two years working with private equity money in dot. coms. She joined the Microsoft Corporation at its Seattle headquarters in 2001, where she worked for six years in Bill Gates’ Enterprise Division.

Her work for Gates entailed intensive relationship management between Microsoft and its 100 top enterprise accounts, touching CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and CFOs of the client companies. From 2007 until she took up the position as CEO of Cape Town Design, she has run her own consulting company, working with many of South Africa’s blue-chip corporations.

“WDC 2014 is not simply an event, but an invitation for change that will bring collaborators together in ways that create new conversations, new connections and new possibilities, that will last long after 2014,” said Cape Town Design CEO Alayne Reesberg.

The WDC 2014 journey began with the first call for public submissions, which officially opened on 28 February with the unveiling of the four themes designed to being clarity and simplicity to the over arching theme of “Live Design. Transform Life”. The focus is on projects that bridge historic divides, reconnect the city in structure and in spirit, rebuild social and economic inclusion, and reposition Cape Town for a sustainable future through design.

The four WDC 2014 themes are: • African Innovation. Global Conversation• Bridging the Divide• Today for Tomorrow• Beautiful Spaces. Beautiful Things

The call for submissions was followed swiftly by

the appointment of a curatorial panel in mid-March led by leading designer Paul Duncan. The cura-tors come from various disciplines and fields of expertise across the design spectrum, and will help identify projects that offer tangible evidence of how design can improve lives and play a significant role in the selection and curatorship of public submis-sions that will form part of the WDC programme in 2014.

Hot on the heels of the curators, was the appoint-ment of the International Advisory Council to support the WDC 2014 effort. The IAC has three main roles: to assist the curatorial panel in plac-ing submissions within a global context infusing a global design perspective; advise Cape Town Design NPC on programme development and to be global ambassadors for WDC 2014.

A total of 1253 public submissions of projects were received between March and July.

Those interested in making submissions were urged to think big, consider multi-disciplinary collabora-tions and demonstrate impact, while delivering feasible solutions in a tangible way.

While some of the short listed projects from the first call showed design-led thinking in providing solutions to social challenges in and around Cape Town, the curatorial panel identified gaps they wanted to cover in the second round. These gaps were in product design, science and technology, food, engineering, architecture, service design and interaction design.

Says Reesberg: “WDC 2014 is our opportunity to understand how integral design is in our everyday lives and how we can use it as a tool to support the changes we would like to see in our homes, schools, neighbourhoods, city and country. The legacy of WDC 2014 will provide a foundation for Cape Town as a design city and the potential for design for social transformation and economic development.

“Our winning bid is a proudly African story, with


WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL 2014the ultimate goal of achieving a sustainable, inclu-sive and more liveable African city, rooted in the strengths of our people and communities.

South Africa and Cape Town have been divided by design through the social engineering of apartheid. It is through design, not chance, that we can work to reshape the cityscape to a safer, more efficient and inclusive home for all our residents.”

The year-long WDC 2014 programme consists of a dynamic mix of design projects, activities, exhibitions and events that will bring to the public eye the range of innovative and creative services, processes, products and objects that have been de-veloped to transform lives. The project submissions are one aspect of the 2014 programme.

In addition, there are six signature events:• Design Week Forum (London, 18 September)• New Year’s Eve of Design (Cape Town, 31 December)• Design Gala (Cape Town, 28 February 2014)• Design Policy Conference (Cape Town, Novem-ber 2014)• Design House Exhibition (Cape Town, November 2014)

• Convocation Ceremony (Cape Town, November 2014)Some of the events planned within the official calendar for 2014 include:

1. WDC Food (Full year of events) with a WDC Food Indaba taking place in October. WDC 2014 FOOD curates a full year of food design events, in-cluding co-ordinating and promotion existing food design events as well as core initiatives that activate the public, transform lives and creates legacy. 2. Active Mobility – March – May (focusing on a variety of non-motorised and cycling events and activities). All activities will be open to the public. 3. Maboneng Precinct – February and November.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF ADVENTURE TOURISM

Karkloof canopy tour is celebrating its 10th year in Business this year (2013). In the past decade

Karkloof has seen 1000’s of satisfied guests from all over the world slide through its trees.

A Canopy Tour® takes you on an unforgettable adventure as you slide from one platform to the next along a series of steel cables set amongst

magnificent natural surroundings. The concept of Canopy Tour originated in the

rain forests of Costa Rica, where scientists were studying species in the Canopy Layer of the For-est. Sliding from tree to tree became a novel way to see the flora and fauna of an indigenous forest. A whole new level of appreciation was born when

the concept became one of South Africa’s most popular eco adventure activities. Professional

guides assure the safety of each group and point out interesting facts along the way.

The adventure is widely regarded as one of the best ‘soft’ eco-adventure activities in the world. During the tour you can expect to hear the calls

of the Samango monkey, or spot the elusive Narina Trogon in this magnificent forest. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages with the youngest

being 3 and the oldest 90 so far to do the tour. It’s ideal for teambuilding, kid’s parties, family get-togethers, corporate events or just a fun day out.
