BACK TO THE TOPIC FOR TODAY!
  • Models Strategies for Investing in Property
    Infrastructure Development within the Greater
    Francistown area How it will help transform the
    landscape of the City of Francistown and its
    neighbouring districts.
  • One can be forgiven for thinking we want
  • A beautiful community,
  • A long lasting landscape, and
  • Healthy for the people and the planet!
  • Real transformation that also has to be
    sustainable!

12
Case study Curitiba, brazil
  • Apparently this may be the most livable city in
    the world! It has become the international model
    for sustainable development because it put its
    people first and plans in a strategic and
    integrated way. They call it a model ecological
    people-centred city.
  • A study by ICLEI-Local Governments for
    Sustainability (an Internationál Organisation of
    more than 875 cities, towns and counties)
    says.that Strategic and integrated urban
    planning is what underpins the individual
    projects system-wide that improve the
    environment, cut pollution and waste, and make
    the quality of life in the city better,.
  • The result of the strategy--which put people at
    the center and emphasized integrated planning--is
    that the city has become a showcase of ecological
    and humane urbanism, with ongoing improvements
    over the past 38 years to social, economic and
    environmental conditions for its residents.
  • This was started by the then Mayor in the 1970
    and 1980s. The City is much older. This
    information was obtained from its website.

CURITIBA KEY POINTS
  • Transportation the Public Transportation
    Integrated Network maintains 2,100 buses that
    transport 2.04 million passengers each workday
    along 385 different lines that cover the city and
    surrounding regions. 5,000 bus stops, 351
    tube-stations and 29 integrating terminals. While
    the population has doubled since 1974 and
    Curitiba has the most car owners per capita of
    any Brazilian city, auto traffic has declined by
    30, and Curitiba has Brazils lowest rates of
    ambient pollution and per capita gas consumption.
    Curitibas system.
  • Waste Disposal Since 1989, when Curitiba became
    the first city in Brazil to introduce wide-spread
    separation and recycling of domestic waste, its
    recyclers have separated 419,000 tons enough to
    fill 1,200 20-storey buildings. Now 70 of the
    city's trash is recycled, with sorting into
    organic and inorganic waste done by residents at
    home and picked up from the curb by a fleet of
    brightly coloured trucks.  Recycling is done at a
    plant (itself made from recycled materials) by
    previously unemployed people including the
    homeless and recovering alcoholics. Paper
    recycling alone saves the equivalent of 1,200
    trees a day. Recovered materials are sold to
    local industries, and the proceeds used to fund
    social programs.
  • Green Exchange Poor residents in 62
    neighbourhoods unreachable by truck have been
    able to bring their waste to neighborhood
    centers, where they have exchanged 11,000 tons of
    garbage for nearly a million bus tokens and 1,200
    tons of food since 1991 currently, 7,000 people
    benefit from about 44 tons of food annual,
    through 78 exchange points. In the past three
    years, more than 100 schools have traded 200 tons
    of garbage for 1.9 million notebooks. The program
    improves the diet of the poor and supports small
    local farmers.

Most livable city.
  • Green Space When the national government was
    distributing flood control funding in the 1970s,
    the city used the funds to buy up vacant land and
    create a network of 30 parks that include lakes
    created by damming rivers. Now the city has an
    astounding 51 square meters of green space per
    person as well as an effective flood control
    system. The city also has dozens of squares,
    playgrounds, and gardens 200 kilometers of bike
    paths and 1.5 million trees planted along
    streets by volunteers. Builders get tax breaks if
    their projects include green space. Land around
    the parks has increased in value, bringing the
    city higher tax revenues.
  • Cultural Heritage Many of the city's buildings
    are "recycled" and retired buses are often used
    as mobile schools or offices. A flooded quarry
    was turned into the Wire Opera House inside two
    months, and another into the Free University of
    the Environment, which educates people on
    ecological issues. The refuse damp became a
    botanical garden with a duck pond, French
    parterres and a classic Victorian greenhouse an
    old gunpowder storage facility was transformed
    into the cherished Teatro do Paiol a glue plant
    became the children's center and an old trolley
    on the first pedestrian mall in the region, Rua
    Quinze, became a free babysitting center for
    shoppers. The mayor called it urban acupuncture
    that energized the development process.
  • Downtown areas were transformed into pedestrian
    streets, including a 24-hour mall with shops,
    restaurants and cafes, and a street of flowers
    with gardens tended by street kids. The sol
    criado system finances restoration of historical
    buildings, creates green areas, and supports
    social housing. The citys zoning plan sets two
    standards for the number of floors that can be
    built in each zone normal, and maximum
    building the maximum requires buying the
    difference in the sol criado market by
    providing funds to restore an historical
    building, create a nature park, or build social
    housing.
  • Housing Since 1990, the Municipal Housing Fund
    has been providing financial support to housing
    for lower income populations. After national
    housing finance collapsed in 1985, just as people
    from the countryside poured into Curitiba, the
    citys public housing program bought one of the
    few remaining large plots of land, Novo Bairro,
    as home for 50,000 families. While landowners
    built the houses themselves, each received a pair
    of trees and an hours consultation with an
    architect to help them develop their plan. COHAB
    also built Technology Street, an avenue of 24
    homes in the centre of Novo Bairro, each built
    using different construction techniques.
  • Economy and Jobs In the early 1970s, when Brazil
    was welcoming industry with open arms, Curitiba
    accepted only non-polluters and constructed an
    industrial district with so much green space that
    it was derided as a golf course until it filled
    up with major businesses while its counterparts
    in other Latin American cities flagged. The
    city's 30-year economic growth rate is 7.1,
    higher than the national average of 4.2, and per
    capita income is 66 higher than the Brazilian
    average. Between 1975 and 1995, Curitibas
    domestic product grew by some 75 more than the
    entire State of Paraná, and 48 more than Brazil
    as a whole. In 1994, tourism generated US280
    million, 4 of the city's net income

A strategic land investment model (slim)
  • Housing markets keep collapsing, exposing cracks
    in the larger economy and family budgets. Shelter
    is both a source of wealth and debt for most
    families. This has created a structural
    volatility in the economy. Is property, seen for
    a very long time as a long term asset, now a
    commodity? Families are now seeing housing as an
    investments, not just as shelter and security.
    Now families buy to let, i.e for investment
    purposes despite in some cases the lack of
    underlying demand. This boom and bust scenario
    suggests a failed model.
  • A report by The Princes Foundation For the Built
    Environment proposes a way forward. In 2007, in
    their other report Valuing Sustainable
    Urbanism, the Princes Foundation found
    substantial additional value accruing in the
    short and long term from mixed use, mixed income,
    walkable neighbourhood scale developments. The
    report found that such developments created
    stronger social capital and enhanced the natural
    environment. SLIM prescriobes a model of
    residential growth that fully considers the
    potential for long-term value creation through
    master-planning, infrastructure delivery, the
    creation of sense of place, and careful estate
    management.

SLIM
  • The landowner comes into the deal as a co-partner
    with the promoter and the investor. The land is
    used as equity investment and eases cash flow.
    The other benefit is derived from the phased sale
    of land to capture values as they rise. This is
    an investments dimension that unlocks value over
    the long term and is in sharp contrast to the
    standard model where promoters need to sell
    housing units and excess land to recoup their
    investment.
  • There are many innovative partnerships emerging
    but this might just work for Francistown which is
    bordered by privately held land parcles that are
    proving too expensive for government to buy from
    present owners.
  • This model requires collaboration of landowners,
    promoters, investors and local authorities. It
    presents an opportunity for a win-win situation
    which creates value for everyone including the
    home buying public by delivering places that are
    diverse, interesting, lively, prosperous and
    sustainable!

18
New approaches to residential delivery
  • Niche market developers who take a long term
    quality driven approach to housing that can be
    truly called sustainable urbanism must be
    encouraged in Botswana. These are the landowners,
    long term land investors, commercial developers
    and regeneration specialists.
  • Upfront investment in master planning, design and
    intensive project management is essential in
    order to optimise gains in the longer term.
  • Required skills master planning, optimising land
    parcels and phasing schemes and mechanisms for
    long term estate management.

19
Emerging frontier markets
  • In 2014 Cushman Wakefield, a US based company
    assessed risk opportunity in acquiring office
    space in 42 countries, considered emerging.
    Botswana was ranked Number 1, considered most
    efficient and transparent market.
  • This is a call for investors to take a serious
    look at Francistown and implement new ways of
    delivery property and infrastructure for the long
    term sustainability of the City. It has taken the
    City of Curitiba 38 years to achieve the sense of
    being the most livable city in the world, so it
    has to be worked at!

THE VALUE OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
  • Its tangible, its solid, its beautiful. Its
    artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love
    real estate. Donald Trump
  • Its Tangible you can see it as a physical
    asset and you can see straight away its
    benefit
  • Its Solid you can from the get go determine
    its use to you
  • Its Beautiful one of the most creative
    investment forms with no limitations
  • Its Artistic a reflection of design
    transformed from paper to life

21
The value of property ownership
  • The value of real estate Land Developments
  • The value of Real Estate Capital Growth and
    Income
  • The value of Real Estate Heritage

22
THE VALUE OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
  • The Value of Real Estate Ownership
  • THE OWNERSHIP OF AN ASSET WHICH IS DIMINISHING
    IN SIZE, INCREASING IN DEMAND, AND WILL ALWAYS BE
    REQUIRED AS A FOUNDATION OF ANY ECONOMIC
    ACTIVITY!

23
REAL ESTATE has produced the HIGHEST number of
Billionaires in the world, and those that were
produced by music and film, maintain their wealth
through real estate.
24
THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN SKILLING BATSWANA ON
MATTERS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP AND THE PROPERTY MARKET
  • Next in Importance to FREEDOM and JUSTICE is
    popular EDUCATION, without which neither freedom
    nor justice can be permanently maintained .

In conclusion
  • REAL ESTATE is a very important asset that we
    have in Botswana, the ratio of person to Land is
    the highest in the world.
  • We are the only country that is allocated land
    Free or at a subsidized rate
  • In comparison to other Countries in Africa, our
    land ownership legislation is rather advanced
    however we do not know it
  • We have a regulated real estate professional body
    but we still use unregistered members for our
    transactions, our institutions create
    sub-regulatory measures that do not speak to
    professionalism or quality of work.
  • We are not using the tools that we have to KNOW
    and understand our PROPERTY ASSET.
  • We are speculative on things we need not
    speculate.
