The document describes a proposed system for urban fog farming. Nylon mesh humidity catchers would be installed above existing settlements and combined with vegetation. The transpiration from the plants would add extra humidity to the air captured by the nets. A drip irrigation system using locally-made ceramic pots would allow a minimal and constant watering of the plants in an efficient manner. This would facilitate growing crops to provide basic sustenance by taking advantage of unused urban air space.

A MORE SUSTAINABLE RELATION TO WATER
Limited access to clean water results in more efficient usage of the resource. The mucceque dwellers have a high
consciousness related to water consumption, and uses it without hardly any spill. The water is a visible element playing
an active role in the urban life, where the resource is carried and kept in containers instead of hidden in tubes.

These are values easily lost in a tubed society.

LUANDA WATER SUPPLY
Luanda, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is desperately short of
clean water. Most of the inhabitants of the musseques (the informal areas that
constitute the majority of Luanda’s land area) are dependent on contaminated
water brought by trucks from rivers hours north and south of the city. The
price of water in the musseques can be very high. Shouldn’t clean water be
seen not as a public good
The formal water supply comes mainly from the Kwanzo and Bengo Rivers. The state of Luanda’s water supply system is -but as a public right?
in very poor condition, with the operating company, Empresa Provincial de Agua de Luanda, unable to carry out normal
functions such as maintenance, billing and maintaining accounts. Luanda’s two water production and treatment plants
distributes water to about 25% of the residents. The majority of the population, and virtually all low-income communities,
depend on private truck-distributed water that is frequently untreated and are also very difficult to afford.
People in the mussiques uses a lot of time, effort and money in order to access (at best) clean water. Can sufficient water be captured
Releasing this time and effort means to release huge resources! within the informal structure itself?

Bus rapid transit (BRT) was first implemented by Jaime Lerner in Brazil, and is a term applied to a variety of public
transportation systems using buses to provide faster, more efficient service than an ordinary bus line. Often this is achieved
by making improvements to existing infrastructure, vehicles and scheduling. The goal of these systems is to approach the
