Abstract
In 2009, I2UD prepared a township development strategy for the Emfuleni Local Municipality in Sedibeng, South Africa, in partnership with Kwezi V3 Engineers.
The development strategy focused on reconnecting the four townships, originally isolated by apartheid spatial planning. The proposed plan linked them to the primary economic centers of Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging. The strategy emphasizes three local development corridors linking townships to larger regional routes, and identifies five key economic nodes for concentrated investment. It also delineated a tourism route featuring points of interest and historic sites within the four townships.
