In order to achieve the goals of redevelopment within the informal settlement of Monwabisi Park, Cape Town, there is a need for a comprehensive plan for redeveloped housing, community centres and community space. To develop this plan, our team wrote proposals for new housing, community centres, the ecoBEAM Technologies building methods and a children's playground. This plan emphasizes sustainability, community engagement and a minimally disruptive redevelopment process.
