  • Chapter 4: Prince Albert Spatial Development Framework
    CHAPTER 4: PRINCE ALBERT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 4.1 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT VISION STATEMENT The vision to guide the 2020 Prince Albert MSDF is to: “Develop Prince Albert as a place of resilience and environmental quality with a unique and distinctive sense of place - where people choose to live, work and visit, an exemplar in the achievement of sustainable growth” This vision links to the 2020 Central Karoo District MSDF vision, which is: “Working together in Sustainable Spatial Development and Growth towards a Resilient Central Karoo” The municipal wide spatial concept used to realise the above vision, is shown in Figure 4.1 across. There are 5 socio-ecological systems of resilience shown in the shape of a ‘Caracal Paw’. Resilience refers to the capability of individuals, social groups, or sub social-ecological systems, not only to live with changes, disturbances, adversities or disasters (such as drought) but to adapt, innovate and transform into new, more desirable configurations. The palm and heart of the Caracal Paw is Prince Albert Historic Town together with the Swartberg Mountain Range, Swartberg Circle (R328 and R407), various mountain passes, dams, Klaarstroom Historic Town and N12 national and provincial route because together they provide the highest social, economic and political offering, road accessibility, upstream water source and storage and ecological connectivity for the region. The first toe (Prince Albert Road) is ecologically connected via the Dwyka River and infrastructurally through the N1 & R407. This toe is connected to the second toe (Leeu Gamka Town and Kruidfontein) via the N1 national route, which in turn feeds Prince Albert through the R 407.
