incremental approach to infrastructure

1. Africa Urban Infrastructure Summitsustainability at the urban scale‘land is the raw resource of local municipalities’ incremental approach to infrastructure

2. question everything? . never take anything for granted there is something to learn from anything . biomimicry sustainability is not new! . the conscious focus on it is design process and the sense of purpose

11. VISION FOR THE COMPLETED DEVELOPMENT • Development Goal • Enhancing sustainability and quality of the built and landscaped environment capturing land value for investors. • Principles • Natural Systems • To be protected, enhanced and interconnected to establish a open system network. • Accessibility • Provide easy, direct and well balanced access in and around the site, with a variety of road widths, appropriate for the types of development activities accessed. • Land Use Intensity • Create a variety and mix of land use intensity in centres and sub-centres within walking distance of residential neighbourhoods that surround them, allowing the creation of a quality environment and reduction in car usage. vision / goal / principles | slide by GAPP architects & urban designers

13. The infrastructure strategy is based on the desire to achieve a “light green” shade for overall development, a measurement of the infrastructures sustainability. The “light green” rating involves reducing the standard impact of major infrastructure physically, spatially and therefore visually. • The strategy also aims to achieve utility services that are : • Secure and continuous in their roll out. • Can handle the capacity of the development. • Are constructed at a high standard and remain in good condition. • * SUMMARY SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ENGINEERING REPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT.

21. waste energy water relationship between density and sustainability . at the city scale and in Africa in particular, the sustainability equation is possibly looking more like a pyramid: - economic prosperity - social equity - environmental stewardship ‘we need to be able to quantify in real time the impacts of design decision’ . density as the key to begin to understand urban systems and complexity . ability to correlate seemingly unrelated sets of data through the lenses of density (municipal rates and taxes, water/energy/sanitation usage, happiness factor, crime, local finances, etc.) biodiversity people food security density and sustainability: WSP Future Cities offering
