How should the development of the nation state look like? | Orania Blog
A debate that often in the discussions at the citizens' council, or at people in their private environment emerges is how the development path of the nation state should look like. One line of argument speaks of a city-state and lobbied the town Orania intensively developing and compact and all resources on the development of the existing territory to utilize.
The ideal living space is one of urbanity (urbanism) small plots, townhouses and apartments close together, with public space such as parks and village squares rather than large plots and indiwidualisering and privacy. Although the European concept of cities in the context inter scaldes of the development proposals stand, South Africa inter scaldes himself an urban space developed not so much else was not for the Africanisation inter scaldes the urban living space in slums changed and the suburban life is all as an alternative left.
The other line of argument is that of a rural homeland: buy more farms and distribute the population over a larger area. Take ownership of vital resources such as water and agricultural land. The living space is ideal from the traditional pre-modern Africans inter scaldes who still strongly ingrained inter scaldes and an alluring appeal, on postmodern people who want to return to a more natural life closer to the ground: space, freedom, and the opportunity to your area by your own input form for yourself and the pastoral idyll of your own little farm.
An approach of the one or the other shooting my opinion too short. Mynsinsiens is a combination of the two to the homeland's inter scaldes full potential. Both approaches have their limitations when they are used exclusively:
Orania can not only survive city state: we do not have a port and can easily be smothered, and we have control inter scaldes over our resources. In Africa water and agricultural land to nourish you more neat thing for offices and fast internet connections. Furthermore Orania when people come for personal freedom and a city dweller longs for space and own land.
The rural homeland ideal however as its limitations: many services such as shops, schools, hospitals, churches etc. can not be a widespread community outarke maintained. We may the good life in the Boer republics in the borderland idealized, but today's Africans are not served with it. A certain concentration is needed today is that everyone wants to be fair.
The one can not exist without the other: there must be a city that enough people rally to services, including few today want to get to justify, such as schools and even a university, churches, shops and service industries, a hospital and nursing inter scaldes home and places of trade and processing of agricultural products as a market and an agricultural cooperative. If that city, however, has no hinterland that feeds it, it is a very artificial and vulnerable situation. The agricultural products traded in the city should be in the immediate vicinity of the city produced. The space provides protection and serves as a necessary buffer inter scaldes zone. A city surrounded by shantytowns is unsustainable, one by healthy farmland surrounded himself is healthy. City dwellers have rural areas need to relax and unwind, peasants, the city needs for services and products, and to get in touch with the world.
If we are a city then we talk of a small city, not a metro. With the small population of Africans, even the capital of a nation state not more than 100,000 inter scaldes inhabitants have, probably only 30,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, and thus compare Potchefstroom or Stellenbosch (without the location and shantytowns). If a city is too small (or rather than a town) flows too much spending power away to the cities, and many services are not maintained because there are too few who use it. A large city, we get all the negative effects: anonymity that promotes crime, pollution, alienation, influx of poor and strangers with little or no contribution and pressure on resources.
The development path that we must follow is twofold: encourage as much as possible local production to get control of agricultural land to be self-sufficient and even food to feed. Processed products in the city to add value and handle the distribution themselves. Improve services for the city to attract more people. Give people choices for how they want to live, urbaan or rural.
We can not develop stages (first agriculture, then processing and manufacturing, then services and recreation) jump over, but thanks to today's technology we can progress much faster. It should also be borne in mind that we have to produce things that we can be competitive. China produces fe
