Township and Urban Development Conference - moladi

Township and Urban Development Conference - moladi



"By 2030 South Africa should observe meaningful and measurable progress in reviving rural areas and in creating more functionally integrated, balanced and vibrant urban settlements. For this to happen the country must: clarify and relentlessly pursue a national vision for spatial development; sharpen the instruments for achieving National Development Plan" - Vision 2030

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT

The population of African southern cone is growing so do the cities and urban settlements. The high urbanisation rates are because of rural to urban migration and high population growth rates. The proportion of people living in urban areas increased from 52% in 1990 to 62% in 2011. This will continue to increase to over 70% by the year 2030. This urban migration is a result of "push and pull" factors such as looking for new job, better infrastructure, modern housing and better education.
Rapid growth and expansion of urban zones is increasing the economic activity but it covets proper development in terms of planning, designing, building and maintaining. City developers, town planners, construction managers have to face huge demand of innovations to be done. At present, over 400 million people in Africa live in urban areas, a number that will triple by 2050. This unprecedented rise of city population will provide new possibilities to grow and expand companies involved.
The solution lies in thinking beyond. Do not miss this opportunity to join the industry experts, professionals and decision makers involved in every stage of proper development. Join Trueventus and its guests to discover current trends and flow in the market., what are the challenges to be addressed and get more fresh ideas that can be applicable into your business. This is the best time to examine current opportunities for the better future of African cities and towns.
Among the Key Note speakers will be Mr Hennie Botes, CEO of moladi. He will be speaking on: Innovative Building Technologies

Frugal Innovation In Africa - moladi FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA  FRUGAL INNOVATION IN AFRICA - moladi Moladi: Affordable houses in South Africa In many African countries, housing is one of the most sensitive issues affecting the lower income groups. In South Africa for example, close to 13% of the 14.3 million households are informal dwellings (Statistics South Africa, 2011). The term “informal dwelling” is often used in South Africa to designate shacks, corrugated-iron structures and other makeshift shelters. The above statistics represents about 1.8 million households (between 7.2 and 10.8 million people). Informal structures are often made of highly combustible materials such as wood and cardboard which pose serious safety and environmental concerns. The structures are easily damaged and exposed to the external elements meaning that people often live in damp, very hot or very cold conditions. The other concern is inadequate or lack of sanitation and running water which constitute

BUILDER OF THE FUTURE

THE BUILDER OF THE FUTURE The Builder of the Future Moladi construction systems has developed a way in which houses and social infrastructure can be built faster and cheaper, without jeopardising the structural integrity of buildings. by Glenneis Kriel - Finweek   While most other industries have undergone tremendous change, the building and construction sector has seen little new technological breakthroughs over the past fifty years. That was until Hennie Botes, the founder of Moladi , came along.   Realising the struggles of the poor in getting good quality housing, already in the 1980s, Botes decided to do something about it. His solution was the development of a whole new building system, which he named Moladi. The system replaces the cumbersome bricklaying process with an approach similar to plastic injection moulding.   A “mould” is produced by training local unskilled labour to assemble reusable plastic injection moulded panels, commonly known as formwork. The formwork is erect
