Planet earth is all we have as a species. This is why it is vitally important for cities worldwide to consistently be thinking of sustainability in various forms and measures, with the final goal being to implement these measures. As a result, turning these ideas into action. Carbon emissions are becoming increasingly hazardous worldwide, therefore, humans have started to take note of the grave effect they are having on the environment, which includes dwindling air quality and global warming.
"South Africa is the 13th largest emitting country based on 2008 fossil-fuel CO2 emissions and the largest emitting country on the continent of Africa. With a domestic economy powered by coal, South Africa has experienced a seven-fold increase in fossil-fuel CO2 emissions since 1950, with 80-90% of emissions from coal. For 2008, 85% of South Africa's fossil-fuel CO2 emissions of 119 million metric tons of carbon were from coal, another 11.6% were from oil consumption, and the remainder was from cement manufacture and natural gas and coke-oven gas consumption." -https://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/trends/emis/tre_saf.html
According to a waste management company called Averda, Cape Town is currently competing in a competition called the C40 Reinventing Cities Programme. How the project works is that areas are targeted and stakeholders and members of the public are invited to put forth their ideas and possible solutions to the growing problem of carbon emissions.
"Five sites for carbon-neutral development have been identified in Cape Town by the local government and proposals are being accepted from innovative architects, environmentalists, designers and developers. These underused city-owned spaces will be transformed into zero carbon emission developments".-https://averda.co.za/news/cape-town-carbon-neutral-development/
One of these areas that have been earmarked is the region known as Ottery situated in the Southern Suburbs of the Mother City.
"Ottery - a 480,000sqm plot that stands at the corner of Ottery Road and Old Strandfontein Road in Ottery. The plot is open and undeveloped, perfect for medium - to high - density urban development projects". -https://averda.co.za/news/cape-town-carbon-neutral-development/
