DRDLR SDF Guideline Review BEPP Guideline Considerations
National Treasury Barbara Southworth
10 July 2017
Background & Purpose 1. Scan the policy landscape for SDFs (reviews, policy notes, institutional
context) in relation to spatial planning outcomes, specifically the efficacy of spatial planning frameworks to achieve spatial transformation of planning reform.
2. Consider the appropriateness of planning tools and guidelines (specifically the DRDLR SDF Guidelines), specifically in relation to a spatial transformation agenda for Metros
3. Prepare recommendations for the revision of the DRDLR SDF Guidelines (specifically as they relate to Metros)
4. Make recommendations on legislative reform/ amendments needed to align Metro SDF requirements with BEPP objectives
Proposed Process 1. Background review/ landscape scan 2. Confirm focus and priorities of the review with Metro stakeholders (this
engagement) 3. Stakeholder workshop on to frame recommendations for the review of the
SDF Guidelines (and associated legislation, where necessary) – each City to nominate a person to participate in workshop, act as point of contact for reviewers
4. Prepare draft memorandum on recommended changes to SDF Guidelines and circulate to City representatives for comment and input
5. Prepare final recommendations on amendments to the DRDLR SDF Guidelines 6. Technical note on outcomes led planning (models already being developed
within cities…. What can we learn from these?)
Gaps in SPLUMA /DRDLR SDF Guidelines (TOR) 1. No differentiated focus on Metros 2. Limited guidance on Capital Expenditure Framework (is this the correct term
or is Capital Investment Framework more appropriate and strategic?) 3. Not sufficiently OUTCOMES based
Proposed Content Focus 1. DRDLR SDF Guidelines (2014) as the starting point
a. Focus was on wall to wall implementation of SPLUMA b. Many supporting initiatives underway in parallel (terminology and notation guide, land use
change mapping, etc) c. Generic enough to apply to all municipalities thus not differentiated for metros
2. Policies and strategy documents that have emerged since SDF Guidelines published that have reinforced a focus on significance of Metros
a. IUDF (COGTA) b. UNS, IZ Guide, BEPP Process & Guidance Notes, Urban Hub Precinct Planning (CSP & NDP)
3. Working papers and reviews: a. City Budget Forum’s Planning Alignment Task Team
• Reforming the regulatory environment for spatial planning – City Budget Forum (Berrisford) • Planning and Reportting Reforms • Fiscal Impact Tool – City Budget Forum (PDG)
b. UN Habitat Reforming Urban Laws in Africa c. etc
Input from Metros on DRDLR SDF Guidelines 1. Have you used the guidelines? 2. What have been your experiences using the Guidelines? 3. Are they relevant/ useful to metro planning? 4. What would you like to see in the guidelines that is not already there? 5. What has your City done in relation to connecting your SDF with the BEPP and
investment planning (municipal budget, sector department budgeting and implementation and so on)?
6. Where/ how could the BEPP be incorporated into the current suite of planning instruments within Cities (rather than sit as a parallel process)? And what does this mean for the SDF Guidelines / SPLUMA?
What is the central spatial transformation challenge? • Urban spatial inequity: constraints to socio-economic inclusion, especially access by the poor
to well located land for residential, business / livelihood and social service opportunities. “The right to the city” and meaningful work (WEF 2017) - THIS DIRECTLY IMPACTS THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF CITIES AND THEIR SUSTAINABILITY
• The “right to the City” & meaningful livelihoods what are the challenges, legislation and practices underlying exclusion from this?
• The issue is how to enable economic transformation and empowerment through the access to opportunity – Live in a place that is affordable and liveable (satisfies more than a need for shelter) – Be able to access meaningful work / a range of employment or entrepreneurial opportunities – Reasonable access (in terms of time and cost) access to social services, facilities to enable access to
education, health, skills development, leisure..
• Municipalities can’t afford to sustain business as usual (peripheral, low income ghettos) • Provincial and national departments can’t afford to provide social services to remote rural
areas • Peverse incentives – planners paid per plot not household, contractors profit from
infrastructure implementation

Top Down versus Bottom Up
SMART URBANISM/ MASSIVE SMALL • Integrating top-down
and bottom-up planning instruments, systems and tools
Top Down versus Bottom Up
• Wealthy countries can’t afford and don’t have the resources to manage the complex legislation, procedures and systems
• Fragmentation between “big government” and disempowered society

BEPP Guidance and Toolkits 1. Integration Zone Planning & Budgeting: Outcomes-based
Transit Oriented Development aimed at radically transform the space economy of peripheral townships
• Coordinated public investment • Increasing choice for households
Establish genuine belief that cities can transform spatially Envisaging townships and CBDs as inclusive, mixed use, walkable and resilient places (CSP/ NDP) – The Good Design Guide
Need a true belief that we can spatially transform Move beyond providing second class solutions to the poor and excluded…
• Investment = poor quality housing / taxi ranks/ traders stalls
• Why not homes, business premises, meaningful work, world class education and easy access to the “urban dividend” (walkability & public transport) - a sense of belonging
To belong to a place means to have an existential foothold, in a concrete everyday sense. “A city is a place where a young man should see what he wants to be …”

How can SDFs ACHIEVE spatial transformation? • OUTCOME targeting – what does this mean for SDFs?:
– Clear focus, more directive – strategic narrative – less compliance, less detail, less prescriptive
• SO WHAT? How does the SDF become a Strategic Plan of Action for spatial transformation
• Focus on what is driving change?
• Where are the essential places for intervention/ incentive/ support/ compliance?
• What are the challenges for Metro SDFs in juggling compliance with implementing transformation? – Alignment with National Transformation agendas: Treasury: CSIP / BEPP / NDP / IUDF – Navigating the impacts and requirements of / alignment with / contradictions within the compliance and finance
