Engineering plays a key role in everyday life and our response to address the future challenges. Participating in the Engineering for People Design Challenge is the beginning of your journey to prepare you to invest your skills and talent to benefit all people and our planet. You have an opportunity to join thousands of university students from across the world taking part in this ‘Engineers Without Borders’ initiative. This year, students in South Africa, the UK, Ireland and the USA are participating in the Engineering for People Design Challenge. Over 35,000 students have participated over the last eight years with a different design brief each year. This year we have the most students participating to date. This is more than a theoretical exercise. In this document, the challenges described are real issues in ‘Makers Valley’, an area of Johannesburg, South Africa. The opportunities for improvement are identified by those people who live there. They have offered their perspectives to help form this design brief and to enhance your educational experience and to share challenges faced in day to day life. This is not about doing what you are told or finding a ‘right’ answer. This is about ensuring you are designing for people to improve livelihoods. You’ll have the freedom to lead the direction of your project. There is plenty of guidance and resources available (in addition to this document) to help you achieve this, including: • An online portal (with videos, photographs, a forum and lots more information) available at www.engineering-for-people.org • Other online information about local businesses (their websites, news articles or social media sites) Engineering for People Design Challenge: Design Brief 2019/20 Page 1 ENGINEERING FOR PEOPLE DESIGN CHALLENGE ABOUT Within this design brief you’ll find information about Makers Valley, the city of Johannesburg, each of our eight challenge areas as well as case studies of the local people and businesses. Finally, there is some guidance on the design process to get you started. Find out more at www.engineering-for-people.org. Built Water Sanitation Energy Waste Housing Transport Digital Environment The design brief is written so you may focus on one challenge area e.g. Water or Digital, or have a solution that addresses multiple. You are not trying to tackle everything within all the challenge areas, you are in charge of defining the problem that you aim to solve and deciding how broad or how focused to make it. The Engineering for People Design Challenge is about understanding the context and adopting a reasoned approach to end up with an appropriate idea. Just as in real life, there is no predetermined ‘right’ answer and there is likely to be multiple possible solutions. THE COMPETITION By participating in this programme you’ll also be eligible to enter into a competition where we’ll be looking for the teams who have best understood the social, environmental and economic factors present in Makers Valley and can clearly demonstrate the application of this understanding into their engineering design. Participate Review & 7,000+ students Feedback participate across Top five teams 37 universities in from each South Africa, the university receives UK, the USA and feedback from Ireland. professional engineers Grand Final Entry Universities select their top five teams for entry into the Grand Final Grand Finals The highest ranking teams (including a minimum of one per university) showcase their design ideas and compete at the Grand Finals Engineering for People Design Challenge: Design Brief 2019/20 Page 2 MAKERS VALLEY Makers Valley is both an informal name of a neighbourhood in Johannesburg and the name of a set of partnerships represented by a steering committee.

Ndlela Mphangela Nkonge Daniella Sachs Editors: Alonso Ayala Ellen Geurts IHS WP 026 Ahmad, Ayala, Chirisa, Geurts, Magwaro, Muchindu, Ndlela, Nkonge, Sachs Urbanising Africa: the city centre revisited 2 Introduction This working paper contains a selection of 7 articles written by participants in a Refresher Course organised by IHS in August 2010 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The title of the course was Urbanising Africa: the city centre revisited - Ensuring liveable and sustainable inner-cities in Southern African countries: making it work for the poor. The course dealt in particular with inner-city revitalisation in Southern African countries, namely South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Inner-city revitalisation processes differ widely between the various cities and countries; e.g. in Lusaka and Mbabane few efforts have been undertaken, whereas Johannesburg in particular but also other South Africa cities have made major investments to revitalise their inner-cities. The definition of the inner-city also differs between countries; in Lusaka the CBD is synonymous with the inner-city, whereas in Johannesburg the inner-city is considered much larger than only the CBD.

  • Exploring High Streets in Suburban Johannesburg
    EXPLORING HIGH STREETS IN SUBURBAN JOHANNESBURG By Tatum Tahnee Kok A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Town and Regional Planning. Johannesburg, 2016 1 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science to the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination to any other University. …………………………………………………………………………… (Signature of Candidate) ……….. Day of …………….., …………… (Day) (Month) (Year) 2 ABSTRACT Traditionally the high street serviced residents in the local suburb. The proliferation of entertainment and leisure activities on the high street in suburban Johannesburg has appealed to people in the broader region. These social spaces within the suburb provide a simultaneous interaction of individuals who can carry out their daily activities of shopping, dining and socializing and essentially has contributed to these high streets being successful destination points. Patrons, the foot traffic of the high street, sustain businesses on the high street. Some business owners neglect to implement city by-laws and comply with licensing regulations often perpetuating unfavourable circumstances for residents in the suburb. Noise, petty crime and parking constraints detract from the street's allure. Alternatively, some residents enjoy easy access to the street's activities. Using a mixed method research approach, this research reveals some of the perceptions, regulations and tensions regarding the prominence of entertainment and leisure activities on the high street. Three case studies (7th Street in Melville, 4th Avenue in Parkhurst and Rockey/Raleigh Street in Greater Yeoville) are explored to evaluate the role of entertainment and leisure on the suburban high street.
