Oranjezicht City Farm - Meeting in the Barn 22 July 2012kackermann
The document summarizes plans for the Oranjezicht City Farm project in Cape Town. A small steering committee aims to turn an unused public green space into an educational organic farm. The farm would serve the local community by increasing access to fresh vegetables and building skills in urban food production. The location is well-suited due to its history as the site of the original Oranjezicht Estate homestead gardens. The farm seeks to be financially sustainable through produce sales and partnerships. It also aims to be environmentally sustainable and serve as a model for urban agriculture projects.

Proposed Garden City Zoning in Kawit, CaviteShayne Galo
The document proposes an urban planning concept called "Revitalization" for Kawit, Cavite. It involves three main strategies: Revitalize, Revive, and Relight. Revitalize reconfigures streets with center parking and landscaping. Revive makes sidewalk extensions for pedestrian safety. Relight installs new energy-efficient street lighting. It also discusses the Garden City Movement, which promotes planned, self-sufficient towns surrounded by greenbelts that integrate residences, industry and agriculture. Applying this model to Kawit could provide social and economic benefits through compact, walkable and mixed-use development.
Presentation - Our Market District - Main Street SA - April 2016David Bailey

2013-1 Machine Learning Lecture 07 - Michael Negnevitsky - Evolutionary Co…Dongseo University
The document summarizes a lecture on genetic algorithms, which are a type of evolutionary computation technique inspired by natural evolution. Genetic algorithms simulate natural evolution by creating an initial population of potential solutions, evaluating their fitness, and generating new populations through genetic operations like crossover and mutation. This process is repeated over multiple generations until an optimal or feasible solution is found. The document provides an example of using a genetic algorithm to find the maximum value of a function, representing solutions as binary chromosomes and defining a fitness function to evaluate them.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Our Mission:
• The Oranjezicht City Farm is a community of adults and younger folk working
together to engage in small-scale food production in the City Bowl of Cape Town.
Our Vision:
• To improve under-utilised public green spaces by creating demonstration gardens
for hands-on community-wide food gardening education, thereby increasing access
to fresh vegetables for all members of our community, regardless of income.
Our Goals:
• Serve as an educational resource on small scale organic food production for
City Bowl area residents
• Increase access to nutritious fresh vegetables for the community
• Increase the number of organic gardeners in the City Bowl, leading to more
outdoor activities and healthier lifestyles
• Build capacity and skills of youth and adults seeking work in urban food production
• Promote connections and foster relationships between and among individuals,
garden communities, and NGO’s
• Improve unused or under-utilised public green space in the City Bowl,
preserving and protecting undeveloped land.

A superb location, currently an unused bowling green, next to the
corner of Sidmouth avenue and Upper Orange road, Oranjezicht.

Originally the site was the Oranjezicht Manor, which was
demolished in the fifties to make space for a bowling green.
6. oranjezicht city farm
The original farm layouts are missing, but the Nieuwland Farm
layout is still available as reference of the typical style and layout.
8. oranjezicht city farm
The farm’s layout is based on its historic function (food production)
and a modern interpretation for consumers (food presentation).

All paths for the general public are 2m wide
and covered in compacted chipped stone.
This is wide
enough for two
couples to pass
each other (or a
wheelchair and
a wheelbarrow)
going in opposite
directions.
The paths are
accessible from
all directions.
12. oranjezicht city farm
For the garden to grow organically, indigenous
wildlife needs to be attracted to the garden.
Four ponds
(various depths,
fauna and flora)
will be central to
each section of
the garden.
13. oranjezicht city farm
All the beds are one metre wide and separated by a
60cm wide path to allow wheelbarrow access.
This amounts
to 705m2 of
arable farmland.
Next step:
what will be
planted where?
14. oranjezicht city farm
The story of the garden and the history of
Oranjezicht will be shown in designated areas.
These areas are
inside the garden,
rewarding the
viewer with not
just an interaction
with the plants,
but with facts
and information
relating to the
garden itself.
