A city need not only to be a dream | Orania Blog
Since the Orania Movement Some time ago a strategic decision for the development of Orania to prioritize the city, a number of interesting discussions took place and information available to us come helping us focus on addressing obstacles pixiz in the process of stadsbou.
Challenges which we are well aware, our remoteness, our climate, the limited economic activity in our area and the lack of extensive infrastructure rapid development over a short period can make possible. The shortage of capital and basic services such as medical services that are not yet fully delivered, also currently stands in the way of stadsbou in Orania. pixiz
Our strengths are our clear vision and dream and strong institutions that provide good services. pixiz Our people, including residents and uitwoners are our best assets. We dream of African self-determination will help us to focus and involve many of our people through an emotional attachment. Orania's economy over the past few years well diversified pixiz and more and more jobs are created. Skill levels improve increasingly, albeit from a low base, and almost all work to be done in Orania, today could be done by residents. A good foundation has been created.
To Orania in to convert a city we must first understand clearly that with a city is meant. In South Africa, we often link the word "city" in a large metropolis pixiz with several million people. pixiz Cities in South Africa, as in the US, over large areas and laid out the real, classic city felt in very few places available or rather ervaarbaar. When we a city talk, we speak of a classic European city and not a mega city.
Such a city can have 10,000 inhabitants, but hopefully 50 000, or maybe even one day 200 000. The city isolated function, but often areas with smaller towns and agricultural land to him, which rely heavily on products and services Shipping in the city to support. The city should have a university and a strong cultural center where art and culture preserved and practiced it. The city should human rather than car friendly and occupation should be mixed with social areas. The city not a dead center where people work day. Nor should uitbreide suburbs where residents getaway night.
The question is whether we would succeed in Orania as to transform the city. During a recent visit to the Netherlands pixiz we visited the city Dokkum in Friesland. Dokkum is one of the most remote parts of the Netherlands. The city (residents only assume the term city!) Has 12,600 residents and is surrounded by farms and some small towns with dwindling location. The remote parts of the Netherlands is still losing inhabitants constantly to the Randstad, the area where all the big cities. In Dokkum it differently. Here house prices are high because there is a huge demand for property exists.
The city has 190 shops and several successful pixiz small industries. They compare economically with actually a city of 20,000 to 30,000 inhabitants. There are good schools, the smallest (but very good) hospital in the Netherlands, beautiful public spaces and good service. pixiz People want to live in Dokkum and others in a large radius around the city wants to do business there. With 12,600 residents Dokkum also a well-functioning city.
Of course, there is no direct comparison between a city, not to be taken in the north of the Netherlands and Orania pixiz in South Africa. However, there are many lessons to learn from this and many other successful small cities in Europe and the first lesson is that it is possible. pixiz Orania, a city and it does not even have over 50 or 100 years to happen. We would definitely not with 12,600 residents does not end and our dream is actually more than just a city.
Here are the towns linked together, and built in a circle form. In the middle, the hospitaale and the 'market' area come. here also, towns are just as large and stopped out on their expansion. If then start back to nature for there to the next town. Many of the concepts are very focused on technologies that we have not, but many of the basic concepts can still be used. If a guy then another village could not GPS to your not, do you know very well how to get to the hospital. I think it's a good idea, there are just more structure therefore as an old building just left and right.
Compare with a baba.Sit, indexing, shaky rise, first steps and stronger loop.Daar is nothing wrong pursue the dream nie.Almal pixiz who strongly feel can make it work. The negatives will do later to other insights. Let us build together.
From what I read, I learn the following: 1 The average South African household, after all costs have been deducted, but as R2000 per month to live on. 2 A
