Northern Ringpark today is a disconnected space, lacking social activities, security and identity. It needed a regenerative idea, which balances the aspects of design, perception and function in order to create an interlinkage between the people and their environment.

NEW DESIGN
design concept facilitates the creation of more openness, more greenery, better connections and activities and at the same time conserves the values of the park. The design was based on a level concept, whereby different elevated features as mounds, hills, fountains and hanging lights will be implemented, to add an extra spatial perception. Connecting the movement lines to Lindahl‘s original scheme, we developed a design consisting of one dynamic main path that offers the possibility of fast connection, while passing all main activity areas in the park.

The Pleichach, an important, but at the moment underused part of the city‘s history, is brought back to life by the creation of river side along the Ring Park. The geometrical mounds and the more open meadows near the square create a straight access to the main station and offer a recreational zone. According

station square is transformed into an open and accessible space. This creates clear view axis, which connection movement lines. New designed pavilions replace the existing unattractive kiosks, which provide food, drinks and other commodities to travellers. By removing the tram lines from the station square, a non-traffic zone is established, providing a secure area for the people.

cessed, marketed and consumed. As most current food systems are globally oriented and overexploit natural resources, these systems cannot be regarded as sustainable and raise several challenges, which the Global North as well as the Global South are facing. Moreover, in the face of a growing population and therefore an increasing food demand, sustainability problems arising from food systems will likely become more serious, especially in the urbanising cities and even more so in developing countries. Cape Town, located in South Africa, is facing big urban challenges, as beside its increasing gap between rich and poor and the unequal economic and social growth, other specific issues such as the increase in lack of food security in households, land use conflicts and environmental degradation are occurring. Through examining the main influencing drivers of Cape Town’s food system as well as its interrelation of social, economic and environmental issues, resulting in the urban food challenge, this thesis will review alternative solutions for changing this unsustainable food system, to a more sustainable one; outline the importance of localising the food system; and discuss how food issues should be integrated on a governmental level in Cape Town as well as how a community can take its own initiative to lead towards a more local and sustainable food system. 11
