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.

Kovsie alumni golf day
2004-11-05
The University of the Free State’s annual Alumni Golf Day will take place on Friday 19 November 2004 at the Bloemfontein Golf Club. This year’s golf day is in aid of the Shimla tour fund. The day’s competition is a Betterball Stableford and big prizes are up for grabs. The entry fee is R100 per person and includes refreshments on the field and dinner. Our new rag queen finalists will add some glamour to the day.
Book your place with Chantelle at the Golf Club (051) 447-0571 to ensure that you don’t miss out on this event. You are welcome to bring your spouse to the prize giving ceremony after the golf day. For any enquiries, contact Jeannette Jansen at (051) 401-3594.
