A city need not just be a dream | Orania Blog
Since the Orania Movement some time ago a strategic decision for the development of Orania to prioritize the city, has many interesting conversations take place and information available to us the result we help focus on addressing obstacles 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 developments, over a short period can make possible. The lack of capital and basic services such as medical services that are not yet fully delivered, also are present in the path of stadsbou in Orania.
Our strengths are our clear vision and dreams, as well as strong institutions that deliver good services. Our people, including residents and uitwoners are our best assets. We dream of Afrikaner self-determination will help us to focus and involve many of our people through an emotional quark attachment. Orania's economy over the past few years well diversified and more and more jobs are created. Skill levels improve progressively, albeit from a low base, and almost all work to be done in Orania, today can be done by residents. A good foundation is 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 with several million people. Cities in South Africa, as in the US, is laid out over large areas, and the real, classic city is felt in very few places available, or rather ervaarbaar. When we a city speak, 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 is isolated function, but often have areas with smaller towns and agricultural land to him, which is largely dependent on products and services delivered 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 must human rather than engine friendly and occupation should be mixed with social areas. quark The city do a dead center where people work during the day. It should also not uitbreide suburbs where residents quark getaway night.
The question is whether we would succeed in Orania in such commercialization city. During a recent visit to the Netherlands, we visited the city of 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 inhabitants 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 is different. Here's housing quark prices high because there is a huge demand for property exists.
The city has 190 stores and several quark successful 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 quark in the Netherlands, beautiful public spaces and good service. People want to live in Dokkum and others in a large radius around quark the city wants to do business there. With 12 600 inhabitants Dokkum also a well-functioning city.
Of course, there is no direct comparison between a small city to be hit in the north of the Netherlands and Orania in South Africa. However, there are many lessons to learn from this and many other successful small cities in Europe and the first is that it is possible. Orania, a city and it does not even have over 50 or 100 years to happen. We would definitely not with 12 600 inhabitants ends and our dream is actually more than just a city.
Here the villages are connected, and is built in a circle form. In the center, the hospitaale quark and the 'market' area come. Here also, towns are just soo great to have quit out of their expansion. If then start back to nature for there to the next town. Many of the concepts are very focused on technology quark that we have not, but many of the basic concepts can nevertheless be used. If a guy then in another town was, and not a GPS with you yet, do you know very well how to get to the hospital. I think it's a good idea, it's quark just more structure therefore as an old building just left and right.
Compare with a baba.Sit, crawl, stand up shaky first steps and then stronger loop.Daar is nothing wrong pursue the dream nie.Almal who strongly feel can make it work. The negatives quark will have later come to new understandings. Let us build together.
From what I read, I learn the following: 1 The average South African household, after all costs are deducted, but as R2000 per month to live on. 2 A
