    Waste Not, Plant, Rot: A wastewater treatment centre that produces sustainable resources in Norwood, Johannesburg
    (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024-02) Glanville, Robyn Alice; Stone-Johnson, Brigitta
    This research investigates the delivery of essential resources - water, energy, and food around Orange Grove and Norwood, Johannesburg, where all three aspects are threatened by pollution and inaccessibility. Drawing upon permaculture and biomimicry principles, the study explores localized resource management in neighbourhood nodes to address the pressing issue of sustained inequality in South Africa. Focusing on a wastewater treatment plant and an aquaponic farm in Orange Grove, Johannesburg, the project aims to generate sustainable materials, produce, clean water, and energy while fostering spatial and social justice opportunities through community engagement and learning.
