SUMMARY:Food Security and Place-Based Governance
DESCRIPTION:When: Jun 27\, 2013 (1pm)\nWhere: Rm 2.27\, Davies Room\, Engeo Building\, Upper Campus\, UCT\, Cape Town\nTraditional responses to food insecurity are unable to mitigate the growing challenge of limited and inappropriate food access. Although generally overlooked in traditional approaches to food security\, this challenge is felt most severely in cities\, particularly African cities. The second urban transition calls for different approaches to a number of interlinked urban challenges. Food insecurity is one such challenge. Alternative approaches to the urban food challenge and particularly to urban food governance are emerging. However\, while some cities in the South are acting on this challenge\, traditional aspatial and scale-neutral views of food security dominate. Innovative programmatic responses to food insecurity are emerging but are generally located in Northern cities. While the programmes may speak to Northern urban issues\, the new urban food governance structures that enable such programmes offer opportunities for Southern cities. These governance structures have the potential to enable scale-centred interventions that respond to and mitigate the food insecurity challenge in place- appropriate ways. Using the concept of Alternative Food Geographies this talk will provide an analysis of food security responses focussing specifically on how these are enabling new forms of urban food governance and how food\, food security and the city coalesce\, enabling appropriate actions. \nGareth Haysom is a PhD candidate within the African Food Security Urban Network (AFSUN)\, a programme within the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. Gareth’s work has focussed on the interface between food and sustainability\, considering challenges within the broader food system. More recently work has focussed specifically on how the food/sustainability nexus intersects with urban governance in Southern Africa.

SUMMARY:Informal Settlement Upgrading
DESCRIPTION:When: Aug 21\, 2013 (1pm)\nWhere: Rm 2.27\, Davies Room\, Engeo Building\, Upper Campus\, UCT\, Cape Town \n    Speakers: Community leaders\, Informal Settlement Network members\, Community Organisation Resource Centre\, and Shack/Slum Dwellers International \n    City planning and growth strategies in South Africa have quite simply been unable to account effectively for the prevalence of informal shelter and employment strategies. Grassroots strategies for generating alternative planning approaches are subject to significant amounts of attention in theory\, yet the precise approaches and mechanics of these strategies in practice are still not well understood. The role of organizing communities that experience informality in South African cities is perhaps one of the most under-explored mechanisms for achieving more inclusive city growth trajectories.The South African Alliance is made up of two social movements (Federation of the Urban Poor\, Informal Settlement Network) and NGO professional supporters (Community Organisation Resource Centre\, iKhayalami\, uTshani Fund). These actors have been working to include the poor in urban development in South Africa since the end of Apartheid. This includes the largest civil society housing initiative in the democratic era: over 15\,000 houses built through government subsidies channeled directly to low-income communities linked to the Federation of the Urban Poor and initiating a strong practice based model on informal settlement upgrading.This brown bag seminar will focus on the Alliance’s work on in situ informal settlement upgrading\, through a presentation of recent people-led projects. These have been designed to shift the policy space around provision of land\, services\, and housing for the poor in the city of Cape Town. Presenters will include community leaders\, Informal Settlement Network members\, Community Organisation Resource Centre\, and Shack/Slum Dwellers International.
