AQMRC deliver a Framework for Sustainability for the Dube Aerotropolis, South Africa

Following a successful workshop in the beautiful city of Durban, which was attended by Dr Enda Hayes, Rose Bailey, Tom Chambers, Dr Chad Staddon and Dr Mark Everard, a comprehensive Framework for Sustainability for the Dube Aerotropolis in Durban, South Africa was delivered to the clients, Dube TradePort and Tongaat Hulett Developments. This exciting multi-disciplinary project brought together many Faculty of Environment and Technology colleagues who advised on the sustainable development of the land use and infrastructure in the vicinity of the King Shaka International Airport, Durban, while supporting the client’s vision of working towards carbon and water neutrality for the area. The Dube Aerotropolis covers a radius of approximately 15 km around the recently opened King Shaka International Airport north of the city of Durban. This project expands upon AQMRC experience in air and carbon management in Africa, including the Low Carbon Consensus Panel study for the Academy of Science of South Africa and the National Framework for Air Quality for the South African Government.
