As the group tasked with working for the City Council, we were quick to realize that its fundamental issue is a shortage of funds to develop conventional infrastructure. It is in the cheap unfolding of these services that the Council continues to create isolated ghettos, compounding social division and exacerbating environmental degradation. Our site sits at the confluence of numerous infrastructures both natural and manmade, rendering it highly fragmented and isolated. Furthermore, there is the political challenge of negotiating the existing golf courses and responding to the demands for social housing in addition to the ecological limits of an enormous flood plain. Thus, as the municipal group, we use the site’s constraints and transforms them into metropolitan opportunities using large-scale urban transformation vehicles like ecological systems, urban agriculture, and affordable housing, which creates a mechanism to raise funds for infrastructure and public services. In the project, the flood zone functions as a generous green infrastructure, enabling the creation of two evolving productive and recreation corridors. This can mantain a reduced golf course that can become in the future a metropolitan river park. In its edges, fantastic development opportunities funds the creation of dependent social housing, imagined as a mix of the sites-and-services model and cooperative housing typologies. Social infrastructure, essential to life in Cape Town is anchored around collective courtyards that serve as third spaces to save existing trees. Since the Municipality cannot provide everything the project focus on designing preconditions to create desirability and facilitate capacity. The coexistence and codependency of market-led development, citizen participation, and guided rapid urbanization can create an exciting piece of the city with diverse character, room for expression, and a model for a new social imagination and cohesion.
