My final thesis was about Urban housing and revitalization, in the context of a post apartheid Johannesburg. On a broader level it looked at the Urban redevelopment policies, access to housing for the new South African context and the reality facing the new ANC government. On another level I tried to look at the possibilities of mixed use residential buildings in the city, with all the problems and benefits of urban dwelling. The project proposed small service industry warehouses and workshops with a school above and community center above, with housing above the school.
