  • South Africa Blog#3
    South Africa, Blog #3 We are now on our final day in Cape Town for this trip, after a wonderful three week vacation that has taken across almost the whole of the country, to each of its three capital cities and to some of the most spectacular scenery that we have ever seen. We started in Pretoria and the last time we wrote (a week ago) we had just arrived in Cape Town to spend a week in our nephew’s villa here—living in the most luxurious surroundings and once again enjoying every- thing that this wonderful city has to offer. We have been treated to meals cooked for us by the resident chef, chauffer-driven trips to fantastic wine estates and days out on our own in the city and surrounding area. On Monday we visited the Cape of Good Hope. The weather in Bantry Bay where we are staying was very misty and we couldn’t see the ocean only a few hundred feet below us but we were told that this could change as we rounded Table Mountain. Indeed, even before we reached the city, let alone the cape peninsula, there were breaks in the cloud and some blue sky. This just got better as we drove down the east coast of the peninsula and made our first stop in Simon’s Town. This town has a main street of beautiful buildings and is one of the first settlements of the Cape Colony. It is also the home of the South African Navy and there is a significant naval presence here.

  • The V&A Waterfront As Workplace and Leisure
    THE V&A WATERFRONT AS WORKPLACE AND LEISURE SPACE FOR CAPETONIANS by ROZITTA ELIZABETH TERCIA DE VILLIERS Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Prof SLA Ferreira March 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ii DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za iii SUMMARY According to a report compiled in 2012 by Projects for Public Spaces (PPS) on behalf of UN-Habitat, one third of the world's population resided in cities in the 1950s. This figure increased to 50% in the following half century and is predicted to be two thirds by 2050. The building of new skyscrapers and rapid urban development often causes urban communities' public spaces to disappear leading to more stressful living environments in crowded urban neighbourhoods. Such stressed communities often look for alternatives to fulfil their needs to interact in nature and in open spaces. One solution to this global challenge is the popular rise of urban waterfront developments that provide a link between water spaces and cities, creating multi-use destinations, which provide urban citizens with the public spaces they need to encourage public interaction and social cohesion.
