3 FUTURE GAZING

No fossil fuel driven private

vehicles

Car sharing is the dominant form

of “ownership”

Space requirement for movement

of goods will crowd out private car

modes.

4 Movement space is a public space

•Employment

•Health

•Education

•Living Environment

INTERSECTION DENSITY

SPATIAL DISCONNECTION AND LIMITED WALKABILITY

93% of the metropolitan area falls below

the 100 intersections/km2 Connectivity benchmark to support walkability

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 8

LAND USE DIVERSITY

Limited diversity and inefficient land use patterns

The lack of land

use diversity is even more critical in deprived areas where we find mostly residential land uses

With current residential density levels, only 11% of the people will

live less than 1km from transit

Traditional urban growth model

THE POLYCENTRIC CITY

13

Joburg Structure: Inverted Polycentric Model

Urban inefficiency = high carbon emissions

14

Future Joburg Model: Compact Polycentric

Opportunities to create low carbon restructuring zones:

• Modal Density

• Job Density

• Social Density

• Residential Density

CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOCUS

Use Development Layers in Prioritising investment and managing growth in the city. These will be the primary layers in JSIP.

26 BUILDING COMPLETE STREETS

• Significant reduction in carbon emissions

• NMT system

• Short distance fleet – last mile

• Complete streets - New standards required

• Innovative solutions for constrained urban spaces

Movement

Transformation

CORRIDORS OF FREEDOM Empire Perth Corridor

Typically characterized by:

A mix of uses - significant provision for

public or civic spaces and comprising a

mix of residential, employment, and

retail activities

Moderate to higher density

Pedestrian orientation/connectivity

Transportation choices

Extensive provision for pedestrian and

cycling movement

Reduced parking

A road network laid out in the form of a

topologically ‘open’ grid

Extends to an easy walking distance

radius of 400-800m

An approach to development that

focuses land uses around a transit

station or within a transit corridor

Walkability Analysis

Spatial influenced effected by a range of factors, including erf size,

intersection density, street configuration, etc.

30

Breaking market monopolies and improving access to economic opportunities

Supply chain monopolies

Access to capital

Accommodating informality (second economy)

Stimulate new economic clustering and innovation

Bring factors of production and innovation together in high efficiency hubs

Broker the deal between land owners, developers, business and industry – Special purpose

vehicle

Spatial response

Create urban efficiencies and quality public environments

Division of land and design principles

No shopping centres?
