An inter-institutional collaboration between the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) – with input from civil society – has delivered videos that unpack the multiple layers associated with land administration in South Africa.
A special collection of drawings featuring the communities of Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay and Langa on the Cape Flats, sketched by a group of honours students in the School of Architecture Planning & Geomatics (APG) at the University of Cape Town (UCT), are up for sale at The Architect Gallery at the Cape Institute for Architecture. All proceeds will go towards non-profit organisations providing social relief measures to both communities.
An interdisciplinary University of Cape Town (UCT) research alliance has been awarded funding by the National Research Foundation (NRF) to embark on the second phase of a Community of Practice (CoP) project. Their research initially focused on the cultivation of fibre-rich plants as a means of remediating degraded mining land and boosting South Africa’s economy. In the next phase, the CoP aims to leverage these analytical developments. Their view is that appropriately informed micro industrial policy aimed at driving inclusive and sustained economic growth, is best realised through multi-disciplinary research.
