Abstract [en]
The master thesis "The revival of Greater No 2 - a residential area in Kimberley, Southafrica" is focused on upgrading of streets and public open spaces in a part of the township Galeshewe. The project is performed as a Minor Field Study, supported by SIDA. The area, Greater No 2, is located in the city of Kimberley in the central parts of Southafrica. The city started to develop during the diamondmining rush in the late 19th century. Greater No 2 is today a dense area (7 500 inhabitants living on 52ha)which lack public open spaces and green elements. The proposal comprises an overall structure - a hierarchical street structure as well as three more detailed proposals for specific places.
Abstract [sv]
Examensarbetet "The revival of Greater No 2 - a residential area in Kimberley, Southafrica" behandlar upprustning av gator och offentliga platser i en del av townshipet Galeshewe. Projektet har utförts som ett Minor Field Study-projekt stött av SIDA. Området, Greater No 2, ligger i staden Kimberley i centrala Sydafrika. Staden började utvecklas under den diamant rush som startade i slutet av 1800-talet. Greater No 2 är idag ett kompakt område (7 500 inv på en yta av 52ha) som saknar offentliga öppna ytor och vegetation. Förslaget omfattar en övergripande struktur - en hierarkisk gatustruktur, men också tre mer deataljerade förslag för specifika platser.
