Tshwane CDS Towards 2014
Fleshing out the strategic challenge:
The spatial logic
DEVELOP THE
NORTH
•Rudimentary household services
•Public facility/ space clusters
•“Circular” public transport
•Urban agriculture
Babelegi
Winterveld
Soshanguve
DEVELOP THE “URBAN PORT”
•Rosslyn
•Dinokeng
•Bon Accord
•Wonderboom
Akasia
The Capital/ Inner City
Mamelodi
Atteridgeville
Centurion
CELEBRATE THE CAPITAL
•Cultural heritage
•Housing
MAINTAIN THE SOUTH
•Guide the market
•Strengthen links between north and
south
THE NORTH: Component “Parts”
•The west and east capital
•The “zone of choice”
•The “middle north”
•The “far north”
•The zone of agriculture
Framework for Action
The north:
• Prioritise increased access between North and the CBD,
South and West
• Allow jobs to respond to infrastructure and focus “key
sectors” here
• Re-think agriculture and protect the area
• Increase housing choice, starting in the Zone of Choice
• Create places of value in existing areas
Framework for Action
The North Housing Perspective:
• Harmonize the management of cross border areas.
• Improve bulk infrastructure in the north.
• Search for an integrated approach to the housing
challenge.
• Develop a rational level of services from the zone of
choice to the far north.
• Investigate and implement different housing typologies
from the zone of choice to the far north
