This thesis is based on a community called Kwena Malapo near Lanseria. It is a
group of people that sit between the threat of relocation and the opportunity to
develop along with the new proposed development of Cradle City. The land on
which the informal settlement exists sits on the border of this development and
the community are fighting to stay where they are.
They lack basic services and infrastructure have poor education and no skills
investment which makes them vulnerable. The aim of this thesis is to put forward
the design of a community hub that will serve the community, give them an
opportunity for learning and contribution as well as the ability to develop with
the new economic growth, instead of facing relocation.
Along with skills development and business opportunity the hub aims to serve
the 13 informal settlements that surround Kwena Malapo.
