Chapter 5
Environmental sustainability
and resilience
Key Points
•
SA has an abundance of natural resources and
mineral deposits, which can fund the transition to
a low-carbon future and a more diverse and
inclusive economy.
•
Developmental challenges must be addressed in
a manner that ensures environmental sustainability
and builds resilience to the effects of climate
change, particularly in poorer communities.
•
Investment in skills, technology and institutional
capacity is critical to support the development of
a more sustainable society and the transition to a
low-carbon economy. Focused, institutionalised
capacity building and management structures
are needed.
Key Points
•
Carbon-pricing mechanisms that target specific
mitigation opportunities need to be implemented.
•
Consumer awareness initiatives and sufficient
recycling infrastructure should result in South
Africa becoming a zero-waste society.
•
The development of environmentally sustainable
green
products
and
services,
including
renewable energy technologies, will contribute to
the creation of jobs in niche markets where South
Africa has or can develop a competitive
advantage.

Chapter 7
South Africa in the region
and the world
Key Points
• Increasing global political economic competition
for natural resources and market share
• Need a clear strategy of SA’s place in region, on
the continent and in the world for the next 20 -30
years
• Role SA can play in BRICS group
• Draw in business community as ultimately it is
private companies that do business across
borders.
Actions
Goal 2/5
Aggressively expand trade and investment in the
region, continent and globally.
This will require:
• Developing hard infrastructure (road and rail)
• Developing soft infrastructure (trade facilitation
systems, SCM, customs control & admin systems)
• Identification of specific trade, manufacturing
and industrial niches where the country enjoys
competitive advantages to make full use of the
Fast Asian Economies
Applicability to CT
• Developing hard infrastructure (road and rail)
Road bottlenecks to Port, Belcon, Broadband and
overseas cable, direct flights?
• Developing soft infrastructure (trade facilitation
systems, SCM, customs control & admin systems)
Customs clearance at Belcon, tariffing of port for
local growth?
• Identification of specific trade, manufacturing
and industrial niches where the country enjoys
competitive advantages to make full use of the
Fast Asian Economies
Tapping into China / India - Brazil freight and valueadd? Film industry, BPO, Oil & Gas,

geography through land reform
•
Colonial and apartheid legacies still exist
•
7,8 mill urbanized people by 2030 placing
pressure on municipalities to deliver service
•
create more housing services and infrastructure
through urban development
•
better located mixed income and mixed used
houses needed
Actions
•
National, provincial and local government coordination
•
Lack of spatial framework that crosses municipal, provincial

higher density housing developments
•
Well located areas
•
Major improvement in public transport link to fragmented
places
•
Higher employment levels in townships and informal

•
•
Lack of guiding framework for National Spatial
development
No and poor boundary co-ordination
A simple differentiated approach to spatial
planning
Reduce inefficiencies in processing planning
applications
Lack of capacity in project management skills
Informal settlements - provides land and urban
opportunities for the poor
• In situ upgrades
City reality : Has
infrastructure
• land availability
• density
