    Re-Urbanization Restoration of urban space through the narrative of the context of Tzaneen
    (University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2024-02) Mohale, Koketso Emmanuel; Daskalakos, Christos
    A study of abandoned buildings in a small town such as Tzaneen with a lack of concerns about Green Building and environmental consciousness. Evidence of old malls abandoned for newer and fashionable shopping centers with no sign of regenerating and renewing the abandoned economy. This leaves room for informal traders to operate in these abandoned spaces, leading to a decrease in property value within the economic hub of the Town. This project will be investigating the different methods of urban regeneration and exploring theories in relation to Sustainability, Environmental Ecology, and green design, to come up with a solution that could help in regenerating abandoned urban spaces. By exploring the current activities that are on the site, this project will further look at options to have an inclusive program of the informal trader as part of the solution to creating a well-balanced and vibrant economic hub.
