1 – Abstract Johannesburg nestled in the Highveld region continues to bear the spatial scars of mineral exploitation and segregated apartheid planning. It is a splintered megalopolis with rising social-inequities, mass unemployment, lack of services and a plethora of degraded landscapes. The perpetual urban sprawl of greater Johannesburg driven by the operations of ‘pyramid of mining’ is putting tremendous risk on the its fragile water eco-systems, habitats, and peri-urban agricultural domains. The contamination of ground and surface water made the absolute dependency of Johannesburg on hydro-colonization. The Lesotho Highlands Water Project artificially diverts river water from the Drakensburg Range through a series of dams, tunnels, and canals to supply the potable water needs of households, gardens and swimming pools. The Klippoortjie agricultural hub is a food belt on the city’s southeast periphery which under constant threat from future housing development, industrial expansion, water scarcity and drought. The predictions of frequent drought conditions coupled with irregular rainfall patterns and temperature anomalies outlined in the FAO Agriculture Report (FAO, 2016) has become a harsh reality. Since the dryland agriculture uses groundwater for irrigation, there has been a depletion in the water table and ruptures to the precarious dolomite bedrock leading to the subsequent formation of sinkholes. The increase in average global temperatures makes the agricultural area severely vulnerable to profound harsh weather conditions and shortage of water resources. At the same time, a high flood risk area has been created by the widening and fragmentation of the Natalspruit floodplain intervals by dams and transport infrastructure. These compounded circumstances place utmost importance on the effective and efficient use of water resources in the region. ‘Agro-Urbanisms as Alternate Futures’ explores the post-Covid19 scenario with a hypothesis which includes the collapse of the global oil and the Mpumalanga coal industry. This thesis is an urban design research investigation from the lens of climate change to understand the symbiotic relationship of water landscape, agriculture, and urbanism in the greater Johannesburg region. The design strategies are two-fold and developed across different scales: adaptative climate-resilient landscapes that enhance dynamic growth of threatened biodiversity, and provide alternate modes of living, work and sustainable development based on hyperlocal resource management in the absence of fuel-based automotive and non-renewables. The proposal envisions a self-sufficient hyperlocal entity that is intrinsically linked to its natural water and recycled wastewater systems, topography, and biodiversity, rather than its historic developments of mining, apartheid and top-down land-use planning.

Abstract


2 – Introduction The study area of 8x8km is the Klippoortjie Agricultural Hub part of the Ekurhuleni municipality of the Gauteng province located 30 kms southeast of the Johannesburg inner city. The strong geometric patterns of settlements interwoven with pockets of native vegetation (open veld) and oversized infrastructure is a constant reminder of the original survey grid lines superimposed on the terrain with much of the ‘unimproved’ veld reduced to degraded landscapes and any surviving water courses severely polluted (Foster, 2009).The vast swathes of commercial agriculture are the last remnants of the vast pastoral lands that dominated the rural landscapes, whose existence today is threated by increasing pressures of human settlements and highway projects. Apart from urbanization, the biggest threats to cultivation are drought conditions, water scarcity and severe temperature changes. (Please refer Vo.1 Ch.10) With the advancement in technology, the exponential water demand for mining started a process of damming and canalizing upstream Natalspruit river that in turn resulted in deterioration of wetlands’ morphological characteristics. Alongside, the large-scale infrastructural mobility has severed the Natalspruit catchment with rapid deepening and widening of the floodplain associated with excessive soil erosion and unbalanced sedimentation (Climate Change Adaptation Plan, CoJ 2009). But, in informal settlements without any access to municipal water rely on groundwater for drinking purposes directly impacting their health (Toffah, 2013). With poor service delivery by the state and municipality, the localised region has the necessary ingredients in becoming a self-sufficient territory by overlapping forces of decentralisation and promoting collective growth. The research unfolds with the historical interplays that have shaped the physical landscape and altered the native vegetation, followed by decoding the landscape nuanced characteristics of settlement, industry and agriculture in the study frame. The design research is an earnest attempt to seek alternative perspectives of development for peri-urban fringes of global cities. The final segment of the thesis unveils alternate modes of mobility, living, and economy through concepts of communitarianism: shared space, circular economy and advanced waste recycling within a hyper-locality entity. Thus, the primary line of critical investigation of the area is through the lens of climate change and the necessity of paradigm shift in existing systems.

3 – Research Objective How can adaptive spatial transformation of the Klippoortjie agriculture hub and its urban landscapes envision alternate futures for the region, achieve selfsustenance: food and energy, and offset impacts of climate change? The primary objective of the research is to understand the transforming relationships between agriculture and settlements in the Highveld region of Johannesburg. The historical interplays mapped will be investigated from the lens of climate change and thereafter an urban design proposal will focus on a contemporary area which is significantly challenged by the consequences of climate crisis. The design will focus specifically on the following subresearch questions: In support of the main research question above, the associated sub-questions are: Q. Which strategies can be developed so that can the dryland Klippoortjie agriculture on Dolomite shifts away from groundwater irrigation towards rainwater harvesting and treated wastewater, thereby preventing the depletion of groundwater and reduce the dependency of water imports? Q. What alternate methods of hybridization in agriculture and forestry can be integrated with mixed-use typologies to achieve food security, improve quality of living and health, provide new forms of employment and strive for an alternative form of growth? Q. What adaptive design strategies can be implemented to mitigate foreseeable flooding on edge settlements of Klippoortjie AH, and protect and preserve the Rondebult Bird Sanctuary’s ecology?

4 – Methodology The analytical methods used in this post-masters’ graduate thesis is based on the ‘designerly’ research highlighted in Urban Trialogues whereby the interplay of vision-making and strategic urban projects identifies spaces of co-production and creatively re-organise with desired spatial qualities and activities (de Meulder, Shannon, & Loeckx, 2004). The intrinsic aspects of working on inter-connected scales with a variety fields of knowledge to analyse and synthesise plays a key role in seeking alternate paradigm shifts of human development embedded in nature. This joint venture thesis with Pranit Nevrekar was initiated with the guidance of Architect Ludwig Hansen, and the research material compiled by Studio Urbanism conducted in Spring 2014. The objective of the three-week fieldwork in Johannesburg was to frame the study areas highly vulnerable to the climate change impacts and develop a gradual understanding of the region. The data collection and information gathering includes discussions with Architect Tahira Toffa and the LHA+UD team. The several colloquial interviews conducted with local inhabitants, private taxi drivers, farm owners, seasonal tourists and support staff of Hotel Once in Joburg, Braamfontein have contributed to the discern the nuanced lifestyles and affairs of South Africa. The Literature Review constitutes academic readings, theories and case studies in relation to urban agriculture, food security, alternate cultivation techniques, and the growing compendium of scientific data on climate change. The policy documents and annual reports by the provincial and national governments indicate the parameters of the future growth and outline the course of development in the region. Combining the literature review with fieldwork explorations, extensive GIS Data and archival material from WITS University Library has helped us to identify complementary study areas and analyze the spatial characteristics through the lens of climate change. The mapping exercise includes a holistic understanding of the study area’s physical terrain and the ecological features in relation to the social-economic dynamics of the larger territory. The urban morphology mapped on a vast geographical network of water systems, soil strata and eco-habitats is based on the Gauteng GIS databases and other related technical reports by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. This designerly method allows to interpret and imagine infinite possibilities in the mediating and transformation of existing space. In which, the public space in particular is married with local architecture, alternate mobility, and ecological landscape to rekindle new forms of interaction, amalgamate urban societies and environments to make new vessels of collective life (Shannon & Smets, 2010). Thus, the premise of the thesis is based on shifting towards decentralization, communitarianism, and alternate forms of development beyond the mere logics of master planning, historical links and building more roads.

Methodology


5 – Historic Interplays For more than a century, the spatial configuration of people, wealth and future development are dictated by top-down city planning approach with little regard to natural water system and physical geography. As the visible expression of peripheral urbanization, the new city edges are on the constant charge of finding un-occupied palatable land for occupation through speculative realestate schemes and competitive market for landed property (Murray, 2010, p. 108). The new growth is mono-functional, erratic and skewed around a serial multiplication of identical work, residence and business rather than compact integrated mixed-function radiating outward from an established urban core. The quick returns on land conversion from agriculture to settlements and the mounting pressures of new urbanisms continue to displace productive landscapes and biodiversity in the region. The macroscopic lens to decipher the Klippoortjie Agricultural Hub’s physical geography indicates strong undulating plains superimposed with Natalspruit valley system. The wetlands comprise of sponge and seepage areas along the floodplains extensively bordered by industries and settlements. The urban morphology reflects a densely stratified landscapes whose nature is encoded in a multiplicity of histories, temporalities and memories (Foster, 2009). The transport system of highways and railways juxtapose the agriculture, open land and the settlements that have re-invented the wetlands and water system as innate natural corridors, for outdoor recreation as jogging, cycling, birdwatching, dog-walking, fishing and picnicking (Foster, 2009). This can be clearly seen with the presence of large water structures like dams and man-made lakes towards north of the mining belt. The two biggest threats for the downstream Natalspruit regions south of the mining belt are the untreated mining wastewater and the damming of the natural spruits and streams for mining operations. A few studies determine amount of metal concentration in wetlands from mining operations and industries in the past 130 years using a wide range of physical, biological chemical variables evaluated at the inflow and outflow points (Humphries, McCarthy, & Pillay, 2017) (Dzwairo & Otieno, 2003). The analysis reveals high concentration of heavy metals of Cobalt, Nickel and Zinc in the wetlands as they turned into pollutant sequestration areas for contaminated mining water and traces of fluoride, nitrate and phosphate in the water stream (Humphries, McCarthy, & Pillay, 2017). This industrial phenomenon has made the surface and groundwater unfit for human consumption instituting the formal process of hydro-colonization/ mega-water imports from the Lesotho Highlands catchment areas 500 kms away. Fig. 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 represent the extents of the same territory. A set of historic aerial images from 1938, 1975 and 1991 (Fig. 5.4, 5.5, 5.6) are stitched together to decipher the logics of mono-functional out-dated industry and segregated settlements and their role in enrochment of wetlands and farm lands, and how the natural vegetation altered with the metamorphosis of the peri-urban fringes of the city.

6 – Segregated Landscapes The narratives of comprehensive separation were inscribed with the introduction of the Groups Areas Act No. 41 in 1950 seen as a cornerstone of Apartheid policy. It aimed to eliminate mixed neighborhoods through physical separation and segregation between races by creating different residential areas for each race which would allow the citizens to develop separately. A new endeavor emerged for the city builders, as ‘Payneville’ a predominantly black town considered too close to a white town was to be completed resettled. ‘Kwa-Thema’ a new township for 30,000 residents to be built was handed over to a group of town planners, sociologists and engineers at the National Building Research Institute (Calderwood, 1954). The planning criteria was based on a half-finished sociology survey disclosed all natives under 3 broad economic categories without any consideration of the several ethnic languages and cultural variations amongst the natives. In turn, the experimentations of native housing by Calderwood and his team were carried out to achieve low-cost housing solutions for the indigenous population at reduced costs (Calderwood, 1954). The residential areas with different economic categories were clubbed within walking distance from bus stop and equipped with common amenities such as shopping center, playing field and primary school (Calderwood, 1954). Please refer fig. 6.2 that elaborates zoning principles of row-housing neighborhoods with a civic center. Today, even after the abolishment of apartheid, ‘segregation’ remains a distinctive spatial characteristic and the seminal works of Calderwood through disconnected mono-functional planned neighborhoods still dominate the city’s endless sprawl. The diagram below is a figurative guideline to understand the segregated landscapes of industry, settlement and agriculture. Please note this step should not be seen as a step to generalise the terrain into zones.

7 – Ekhurleni Spatial Development Framework As any other global cities in developing countries, the sustainable agenda and the process of spatial transformation are dictated by the National Urban Development Framework (NUDF), Gauteng Spatial Development Framework and the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Development Framework (MDF): Region F. In turn, these top-down policy documents guide the regional development of Ekurhuleni to facilitate the amalgamation of dysfunctional neighborhoods, integrate multi-disciplinary infrastructural projects with introduction of mixeduse high density along corridors and nodes, and promote and extend economic development in existing urban cores (Ekurhuleni SDF, 2011). The regional framework focusses on 4-development sectors namely economy, society, institution and production with little consideration of environmental aspects of such as mine dumps and slime dams, and the existing socioeconomic imbalances (RSDF: Region F). A combination of the various spatial tools envisage of making Ekurhuleni as Africa’s top workshop and manufacturing hub by unification of the city’s sprawl, effective transport linkages to the OR Tambo International Airport and promotion of investment in certain industries (Ekurhuleni SDF, 2011).The guidelines for dynamic growth and urban transformation introduced in the spatial development framework represent a hierarchical system of spatial planning principles which does provide effective resource mechanisms and fulfill long-term sustainable goals but fail to consider the opportunities and threats on local scale. The Figure 7.1 is a synthesis of the draft Regional Spatial Development Framework of Region F and the township master plan of Dawn Park. It demonstrates the complete transformation of farmlands into future residential projects. Furthermore, the influences of Calderwood model on the layout of the future housing units and civic center can be deduced. The integrated transport plan aims to expand the R526 and plans to extend the Gauteng train corridor to the region. Expansion of R554

Ekhurleni Spatial Development Framework


8 – A Tale of Two Cultivations There exists a dual agricultural economy in South Africa, on one hand there are large-scale holding white farmers and on the other end of spectrum are small land holding black farmers. An agriculture commentator observed the fundamental differences in farming practices and stated “One is the essentially market-oriented farming, as practiced by white farmers, and the other is the largely subsistence-oriented farming of African peasants in the reserves. The difference between the two is deep-seated and manifests itself in a variety of ways reflecting cultural differences and fundamental attitudes to the exploitation of the natural environment . . . the white farmers are scientific and experimental in their approach, while the African is traditional, and even the few progressive individuals are hampered by the communal system of land tenure and other social restraints� (Houghton, 1976). The Klippoortjie Agriculture Hub covers 600 hectares of commercial farming operated by 4 large-scale commercial agricultural companies under the banner of Rebelo Agriculture Group. The disproportionately large holdings were obtained by the current landowners during the start of the apartheid era. Even, though the white farmers enjoyed the privileged stance, historically it was no easy means to till, irrigate and successful cultivate the pastoral lands due to lack of sufficient water (Feinstein, 2005). In earlier times, most agriculture practiced on wetlands (Refer Fig 7.3) of the Natalspruit river stream and a few farms used a system of buckets and cattle carts to irrigate the fields, but with advancement in technology primitive hand pumps were used to draw water from the ground. The Fig. 7.1 and 7.2 demonstrate how the river valley changed drastically by the widening and deepening of the Natalspruit stream. In retrospect, the estate farms where the farm Today, a majority of the dryland agriculture in this region uses groundwater drawn from tube wells and borewells for irrigation drastically lowering of the water table level. The groundwater water problem amplifies due to the dolomite bedrock it sits on, where carbonic acid infiltrates along the planes of the precarious dolomite bedrock such as faults, joints and fractures leading to subsidence in soil strata and the development of sinkholes (Environomics, 2014). Fig. 7.5 illustrates the process and the possibility of sinkholes in the region. In terms of policy making for the agricultural sector, the urgency is not just about land tenure and regulating agri-business, but the greater challenges faced by agriculture in the face of climate change and constant pressures of urbanization. How can existing agricultural practices shift towards organic and mixed cropping unlike large parcels of mono-cultivation which results in low-productivity and soil nutrition deterioration. The role of urban design interventions are examined in further chapters to build a symbiotic relationship between fragmented agriculture and settlement parcels.

On careful observation, a set of homogenous patterns of the groundwater tanks in region emerge, they are located on the higher contours of the farmlands and irrigate the fields using sprinkler irrigation. The excess pumping of groundwater from aquifers leads to severe depletion of water table in the dolomite bedrock and leads to the formation of sinkholes. The phenomenon has largely been observed recently in Pretoria and Boksburg, drawing attention to look for alternate sources for irrigation.

Artificial Bird Sanctuary The wetlands and the bird sanctuary in the inland of the Klippoortjie Agriculture Hub is a result of the wastewater recycling facility ERWAT (Ekurhuleni Water Care company) established in 1937. The wastewater treatment works with a capacity of 36Ml/d uses a combination of biological filtration and activated sludge processes to treat domestic and industrial sewage. Over the years, the leftover effluents on the low-lying vacant lands of the facility created dense strands of reeds that attracts many migratory and local bird species. Thus, the treated sewage residue created the Rondebult bird sanctuary (ERWAT, n.d.). The bird sanctuary is an enclosed space with high walls completely disconnected from neighbouring settlements by railway network and Klippoortjie industrial hub. The section below diagrammatically represents the repercussions of extraction of groundwater from dolomite bedrock for irrigation.

9 – Spatial Demographics The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality acknowledges the housing shortage, dispersed housing settlements with poorly integrated mixed-use social spaces and faces serious the service delivery challenges (Marutlulle, 2019). The constraints in the region are not unique, but ubiquitous across the urban areas of South Africa, where most of the urban population live in dehumanising housing typologies with economic and social uncertainties, while most do have access to average accommodation but at ridiculously high costs (UN-Habitat, 2015). Within the settlements, the urban figures are fragmented with poor linkages to the social spaces such as churches, schools and informal taxi ranks. The authors of the article ‘Fortress Johannesburg’ aptly describe the material constructs of the settlements as “Sensing possible futures is, clearly, not especially comforting for those whose hopes reside in dreams of an apartheid past…..In those dystopias there was and is reason enough to bring on the paraphernalia of Fortress Johannesburg: the razor-wire fences, electrified and spiked walls, salivating guard dogs, gun and walkie-talkie bedecked security guards, police sirens, steel gates, massive burglar-barring, the ubiquitous 'Immediate Armed Response' signs that decorate the city and its suburbs” (Lipman & Harris, 1999). They argue the about the acts of enclosure as the new norm to create inaccessibility and as privatisation takes command, it eventually builds a sense of strict individual land ownership. The other reason being safety due to the high crime and violence rate as direct result of serious socio-economic inequities and alarming rates of unemployment. A diverse variety of traditional African religions who practiced indigenous shaman traditions and ancestral worship existed before the colonial introduction of Christianity. Today, more than 80% of the total population is converted to Christianity making the African Independent Churches the largest religious organisation in the country. The religious entity provides the communal space for social gathering and bonding amongst citizens but divided amongst one another. The pre-conceived notion by early town planners of bus network as a means of public mobility is fully replaced by private mini-bus taxis that are neither formal nor informal, but the most preferred mode of transport. The Fig. 9.1 shows the spatial dispersal of taxi tanks in different neighbourhoods, often connected to the national and metropolitan highways. The physical patterns and urban fabrics considered as palimpsests are the result of haphazard spatial restructuring of the built environment after apartheid largely made up of self-contained ornamental nodes- fashioned from a set of common design guidelines and planning bye-laws (Murray, 2010).

Spatial Injustice The spatial demographic analysis of Fig. 9.2 shows the stark differences in the size of land holding and the housing unit densities between different residential neighbourhoods. The concept of space as a social construct that dictates the social values and prejudices is fixed for the residents throughout their lives. The Census conducted in 2011 and the subsequent development plans place the average mean age of the population below 25 indicating a highly resourceful younger population, if productively utilised through creation of new job markets and providing alternate forms of work (Stats SA, 2011), (Wazi Maps, n.d.). An average of 5 members per household was taken to analyse the 3 different housing clusters, but this clearly undermines the higher number of residents in informal settlements. The spatial injustice in region occurs also due to poor accessibility to health centres and transport nodes.

10 – Can we make use of Climate Crisis? The negative externalities of climate change highlighted in the volume 1 chapter 8 will soon become the new reality across the open velds of South Africa. Keeping this mind, the two parameters to be examined for an urban design intervention are precipitation and temperatures. The climate model projections indicate a decrease in summer rainfall, but an increase of annual rainfall by more than 200 mm making the region prone to a prolonged dry period from October to February (Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality Report, 2007). The annual mean temperature increase by 2° to 4°Celsius could be catastrophic for human habitation and crop production. These changes could have a wide array of social, economic and environmental impacts in the region. The main reasons for the emissions of GHGs such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere are (Environomics Report, 2014): 1. High concentration of old-dated heavy manufacturing industries in a single area (Klippoortjie and Wadeville Industrial Hubs) 2. High energy consumption by residential, industrial and transport sectors. 85% of South Africa’s energy demands are supplied by the Mpumalanga coal mining industry (Siegfried, 2014). It is by far the largest contributor of Sulphur dioxide (SO2) 3. Large vehicle population (private mini-buses and private automotive) as a means of transport emits large volatile organic carbon (VOC) emissions lead to the forming of a toxic photochemical smog 4. Use of nitrogen fertilizers and livestock rearing in constricted feedlots by national and global commercial entities (contributes NOx 74% of the national total and CH4, 48% of the national total) Since the dire impacts cannot be restrained, the only prudent option is to interweave man-made systems with natural flows and cycles of the local environment such that it can adapt and sustain future climate shocks. As a scenario building exercise, the recent collapse of the global oil industry can be played out as the new paradigm to shift the existing systems towards renewable energies, restructured modes of production, and alternative living and mobility for sustainable development in the region.

Can we make use of Climate Crisis?


11 – Design Strategies The sluggishness of state efforts in responding to people’s needs makes the region vulnerable to negative externalities. With the recent collapse of global oil, alternate modes of ideation and organising the land are needed for smaller territorial entities to become self-sufficient in terms of water, food, energy, and employment. The main objective of the design research to identify critical areas prone to the impacts of climate change and how can pre-determined urban design interventions offset the negative effects. The design strategies in the Klippoortjie agriculture hub are two-fold: climate resilient landscapes and alternate modes of living, work and recreation. The modification of urban landscape is intended to integrate ecological rehabilitation with sustainable development in the region through: 1. Severing the existing R554 highway and increase the territorial extents of the Rondebult bird sanctuary. 2. Flood embankments on edge settlements using dynamic landforms to prevent future flooding. 3. New ecological structural network interweaving the dispersed urban open spaces and degraded landscapes. A plethora of protected forests are designated to reduce the altered urban space and bring back native vegetation. 4. Reclassification of farmlands to build a symbiotic relationship between cultivation, cattle rearing and carbon sequestration. The urban design strategies emulated work in unison to create alternate social and economic patterns in the hyperlocal territory with the complete absence of non-renewable energy sources. They represent conceptualised systems of collective action by reframing the power relations and incrementally producing spatial, social and economic development practices: A. Socio-ecological production spaces such as community farming, hydroponics and inter-cropping with the reuse of domestic greywater, and industrial wastewater. The large surface area of industrial sites area is effectively used for rainwater catchment. B. Reconfiguration of existing industry by combing diverse functions of separate entities to create a common goal, in this case integrating glass making, steel manufacturing, and local coal-shale industries (resources available within 20kms) to create a unified solar-production hub. C. The socio-economic tensions between rural-countryside and urbansettlements dissolve to pave way for localised production and consumption cycles. This could lead in new avenues of local skilled employment and livelihoods, especially for rural migrants. D. The new urbanism structured on existing systems uses local building materials and integrates the segregated landscapes through mixed-use social and ecological connections.

The following design interventions implemented in a phase manner can make effective management of local water resources: 1. Domestic grey water recycling as primary source for irrigation by bio-filtration within the precincts of the residential settlements. 2

2. Re-naturalised wastewater from ERWAT and a new proposed industrial wastewater treatment works 3. Rainwater harvesting along mobility corridors and storing them in storage reservoirs with less surface area to reduce evaporation rate. 4. Stormwater harvesting through street drain network in neighbourhoods interconnected to filtration ponds and farm reservoirs.

Alternate Cultivation & Enhanced Ecology A set of alternative production practices evolved on the principles of agro-ecology and the relevant case studies can transform the agriculture hub from fixed mono-cultivated commercial farming into dynamic mixed-organic farming area using the following techniques: 1. Shifting the orientation of existing farms along natural contours for ease of ploughing and water percolation. 2. Reuse of wastewater from ERWAT for intensive farming and indoor hydroponic farming 3. Alternate cropping patterns between monocot-dicots (maize-sunflower, wheat-beans etc.) 3. Creating symbiosis between farms and cattle rearing with pockets of carbon sequestered lands 4. Breaking the monotonous interface break between food factory & settlement to promote local consumption.

ZBNF is a set of low-cost natural farming methods implemented by grassroot peasant communities in India. It involves making fermented microbial culture using cow urine and jaggery as an alternate to fertilizers, natural treatment of seeds using cow dung, localised soil bacteria and lime and surface, and straw and biomass waste for mulching (CEEW Issue Brief, 2018). The principles of agro-ecology can be emulated and integrated with the localised farming practices in Klippoortjie Agriculture Hub such as inter-cropping, use of local earthworms, building symbiotic relationship between carbon sequestered land, dairy cattle and farms, and construction of natural bunds along contours to increase water permeability.

The principles of communal management of farming land by a community of small-holder farmers can become a potential source of income and employment. The optimized solar pump helps in diverting water from higher to lower level drastically increasing the labour time, increases productivity and costs negligible when compared to traditional irrigation system such as hand and motor pumps.

Case Study: Ville Nouvelle - Melun Senart, France by OMA An assemblage of different bands as a coherent whole maximises autonomy and at the same time preserves the original landscape. The elements use landscape, communication, equipment and development bands to accommodate different styles, functions and regimes to redefine the system of emptiness. The canonical project illustrates the concept of picking unbuilt bands on the site that must be preserved for future protection and using inter-bands to coalesce the territory (Koolhaas, 1994). The idea of system of inter-connected bands presented in this case study can emulated using productive, ecology and public habitat bands in the site by redefining existing land parcels and mono-functional spaces.

13.1 – Strategy First, Accessibility and visibility; the port area is one of the most inaccessible area in Amsterdam and thus it is important to enhance the accessibility. The existing abandoned train tracks becomes the main spine with ‘bike path’ and ‘trees’. the tracks will get converted into common parks for people. The vehicular mobility will be reduced gradually and an enhanced walking experience with the help of increased tree cover will invite more people in the area. this process can further aided by Tram Line running in the same line to connect port to Houthhaven and Amsterdam Central. and a ferry service will help people go on the other side of the river with bike Second, creating destinations: the accessibility goes hand in hand with destinations, which will attract people. The strategy focuses on creating places of interest within the area. The big warehouses in the areas will be reused as mixed-use functions such as library, sports club, restaurants, markets and other innovative and small businesses. These places are in the vicinity of green spine thus creating network of many public spaces.

Third, purification, the land and water is polluted due to industrial use and solid and water purification is a necessity. The purification process follows natural purification by plants in the water and land. Deliberate Sedimentation in the area can become wetlands, which will also help water purification and create new eco system. Finally, Algae Innovation, in which a pilot micro-algae park can be developed in oil port area across the highway. This park along with the green spine will become a green buffer between port and living environment. The Power plant can be reused to generate electricity by bio-stock or biofuel from the algae thus making a transition toward sustainable form of energy. The ten years strategy is a process that will enhance citizen engagement with the place thus creating consensus amongst them regarding the expectation from the ‘New’ port.
