Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale. But, COVID-19 is challenging urban living. We have introduced the term ‘social distancing’ and some policy analysts have even argued for the de-densification of cities.
Join us for a discussion where our panellists will analyse this perceived conflict.

The Legal Clinic of the Faculty of Law at the University of the Free State (UFS) has been relocated from the Bloemfontein city centre to the Vista Campus. To coincide with this, the Clinic presented a moot court competition last week to give senior students the opportunity to develop their practical trail skills. Three teams from the UFS and one team from the University of Pretoria competed in the semi-final. The competition was won by one the teams from the UFS. Attending the award ceremony were, from the left: Jabulani Tshabalala (fifth-year L.L.B. student and member of the winning team), Dr Neels Swanepoel (Director of the UFS Legal Clinic), Innocent Nxele (fourth-year L.L.B. student and member of the winning team) and Prof. Johan Henning (Dean of the Faculty of Law at the UFS).
