Greenfield to Green City - Manhattan size

Eradicating poverty requires tackling all facets of deprivation, not just some. Improvement in living standards is crucial. This means solving issues deriving from chronic unemployment.

 

In poor, unskilled, under-educated communities with limited infrastructure, healthcare, housing or transport, social transformation is especially complex, but vital.  

 

It is what we seek to achieve in the creation of a new city, for the benefit of all, but especially for the benefit of the community in the heartland of the former Zulu Kingdom of South Africa.
