Signature Date i Abstract Urban agriculture has been advocated by NGOs and development agencies as being a food security strategy, and an effective poverty alleviation measure. This view is reflected within the City of Cape Town, as the City's 2007 Urban Agriculture Policy illustrates. Since the initiation of the Policy, many urban agriculture projects have been established by the local government in the low income areas of Cape Town. The urban agriculture projects set up in the townships of Du Noon and Joe Slovo Park are two of the projects established by the city. While these projects have provided primary livelihoods for some participants, the City has expressed concern regarding the age demographic of this practice, as a lack of youth involvement is noticed. Academic literature within this discourse highlights a gap in knowledge concerning the urban youth, and this increases the importance of understanding why the younger generation is hesitant to partake in this activity. The main aim of the study is to explore two City established urban agriculture projects, one in which youth involvement is visible, whilst in the other it is not. TheTown study interrogates whether there are any barriers which could prevent the youth from participating within this activity. The City of Cape Town's Urban Agriculture Policy and projects were examined in order to explore how they engage with urban agriculture, and in turn how they understand the youth and their lived experience. In addition, the existing urban farmers'Cape perceptions of the youth were examined in order to explore what role these perceptions play in youth involvement. Lastly, the study narrowed its focus onto the youth themselves ofin an attempt to understand their own opinions of urban agriculture, and explore what underlies these perceptions. The study revealed that there are several factors at play which hinder the youth from becoming involved in urban agriculture. The lack of youth involvement was not simply a result of the youth's personal perceptions, but it was influenced by the township community, the framing of the Policy and the effect that these factors had on the practice of urban agriculture. This showed that the Urban Agriculture Policy and projects, together with weak social networks and a lack of communication betweenUniversity the township residents all decreased the youth's ability of becoming involved in this activity. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments............................................................................................................................ i Plagiarism Declaration ..................................................................................................................... i Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ........................................................................................................................... iii List of Figures ............................................................................................................................... vii Chapter 1: Introduction ................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 2: Literature Review .......................................................................................................... 6 2.1 Introduction ...........................................................................................................................Town 6 2.2 Advocating Urban Agriculture ............................................................................................. 9 2.3 Urban Agriculture within South Africa's Policy Realm ..................................................... 11 2.4 Urban Agriculture’s Prevalence within South AfricaCape ......................................................... 15 2.4.1 The Benefits Derived from Urban Agricultureof ............................................................ 19 2.4.1.1 Gender Disparity within Urban Agriculture’s Involvement ................................. 22 2.4.1.2 A Specific Focus on Youth Involvement .............................................................. 24 2.5 Understanding the Youth as a Separate Group of People ................................................... 26 2.5.1 Youth Culture and its Impact on Society ..................................................................... 27 2.6 Chapter SummaryUniversity ................................ ............................................................................... 29 Chapter 3: Methodology ............................................................................................................... 30 3.1 Introduction ......................................................................................................................... 30 3.2 Site Description ................................................................................................................... 30 3.2.1 Urban Agriculture within Joe Slovo Park and Du Noon ............................................. 30 3.2.2 Reasons for Choosing the Two Sites ........................................................................... 32 3.3 Data Collection ................................................................................................................... 32 iii 3.3.1 Introduction .................................................................................................................. 32 3.3.2 The City Officials and Community Members ............................................................. 33 3.3.2.1 Sample Group ....................................................................................................... 33 3.3.2.2 Data Collection - Semi-Structured Interviews ...................................................... 34 3.3.3 Project Participants ...................................................................................................... 34 3.3.3.1 Sample Group ....................................................................................................... 34 3.3.3.2 Data Collection - Verbal Questionnaire ................................................................ 35 3.3.4 The Youth .................................................................................................................... 36 3.3.4.1 Sample Groups ...................................................................................................... 36 3.3.4.2 Data Collection - Focus Groups and Semi StructuredTown Interviews ........................ 40 3.3.4.2.1 Focus Groups ................................................................................................. 40 3.3.4.2.2 Semi-Structured Interviews ..........................................................................

Such upgrading is endorsed by the Sustainable Development Goals along with a commitment to ensure access International Institute for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services by 2030. for Environment and Development (IIED) But citizen and community led upgrading was first recommended in the 1960s. Why has it taken 50 years to gain this acceptance? Why are there are still so many examples of bulldozing rather than upgrading informal settlements? Even where upgrading is accepted, there are still many challenges. Some upgrading schemes just provide such rudimentary improvements (e.g. communal water gaps and better drainage). Then there are the challenges for governments and community organisations to increase scale – going from one or two small successful upgrading initiatives to supporting initiatives in a much larger and more diverse range of settlements.

  • Supporting Reblocking and Community Development in Mtshini
    Supporting Reblocking and Community Development in Mtshini Wam Abstract The South African government is currently facing immense pressure to provide all citizens with access to housing and basic services. In response to the historically slow and unsustainable sys- tem of housing and service delivery for informal communities across South Africa, a process called reblocking was created. The informal settlement community of Mtshini Wam and our sponsor, Community Organisation Resource Centre (CORC), invited us to observe the first re- blocking project undertaken in partnership with the City of Cape Town and the Informal Settle- ment Network (ISN). Our project goal was to support this reblocking process as well as communi- ty development. At the partnership’s request, we created a guidebook to help streamline this process as the new standard of informal settlement improvement. We also utilised momentum from the reblocking process to implement community driven initiatives addressing issues of food security, entrepreneurial job opportunities, and quality and safety of shack dwelling.
