  • Alexandra Urban Renewal:- the All-Embracing Township Rejuvenation Programme
    ALEXANDRA URBAN RENEWAL:- THE ALL-EMBRACING TOWNSHIP REJUVENATION PROGRAMME 1. Introduction and Background About the Alexandra Township The township of Alexandra is one of the densely populated black communities of South Africa reach in township culture embracing cultural diversity. This township is located about 12km (about 7.5 miles) north-east of the Johannesburg city centre and 3km (less than 2 miles) from up market suburbs of Kelvin, Wendywood and Sandton, the financial heart of Johannesburg. It borders the industrial areas of Wynberg, and is very close to the Limbro Business Park, where large parts of the city’s high-tech and service sector are based. It is also very near to Bruma Commercial Park and one of the hype shopping centres of Eastgate Shopping Centre. This township amongst the others has been the first stops for rural blacks entering the city in search for jobs, and being neighbours with the semi-industrial suburbs of Kew and Wynberg. Some 170 000 (2001 Census: 166 968) people live in this community, in an area of approximately two square kilometres. Alexandra extends over an area of 800 hectares (or 7.6 square kilometres) and it is divided by the Jukskei River. Two of the main feeder roads into Johannesburg, N3 and M1 pass through Alexandra. However, the opportunity to link Alexandra with commercial and industrial areas for some time has been low. Socially, Alexandra can be subdivided into three parts, with striking differences; Old Alexandra (west of the Jukskei River) being the poorest and most densely populated area, where housing is mainly in informal dwellings and hostels.

  • Metropolis in Sophiatown Today, the Executive Mayor of the City Of
    19 July 2013: Metropolis in Sophiatown Today, the Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Cllr Mpho Parks Tau, launched an Xtreme Park in Sophiatown while closing the annual Metropolis 2013 meeting held in Sandton, Joburg from Tuesday. At the launch, the Executive Mayor paid tribute to the vibrancy, multi-cultural and multi-racial buoyancy of Sophiatown, a place that became the lightning rod of both the anti-apartheid movement as well as the apartheid government's racially segregated and institutionalised policy of separate development. In February 1955 over 65 000 residents from across the racial divide were forcibly removed from Sophiatown and placed in separate development areas as they were considered to be too close to white suburbia. Sophiatown received a 48 hour Xtreme Park makeover courtesy of the City as part of its urban revitalisation and spatial planning programme. Said Mayor Tau: "The Xtreme Park concept was directed at an unused piece of land and turning it into a luscious green park. The park now consists of water features, play equipment for children, garden furniture and recreational facilities. Since 2007 the city has completed a number of Xtreme Parks in various suburbs including Wilgeheuwel, Diepkloof, Protea Glen, Claremont, Pimville and Ivory Park. As a result, Joburg's City Parks was awarded a gold medal by the United Nations International Liveable Communities award in 2008. "Today we are taking the Xtreme Parks concept into Sophiatown as part of our urban revitalisation efforts in this part of the city. Our objective is to take an under- utilised space, that is characterized by illegal dumping, graffiti, and often the venue for petty crime and alcohol and drug abuse; and transform it into a fully-fledged, multi-functional park," the Mayor said.

Ndlela Mphangela Nkonge Daniella Sachs Editors: Alonso Ayala Ellen Geurts IHS WP 026 Ahmad, Ayala, Chirisa, Geurts, Magwaro, Muchindu, Ndlela, Nkonge, Sachs Urbanising Africa: the city centre revisited 2 Introduction This working paper contains a selection of 7 articles written by participants in a Refresher Course organised by IHS in August 2010 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The title of the course was Urbanising Africa: the city centre revisited - Ensuring liveable and sustainable inner-cities in Southern African countries: making it work for the poor. The course dealt in particular with inner-city revitalisation in Southern African countries, namely South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Inner-city revitalisation processes differ widely between the various cities and countries; e.g. in Lusaka and Mbabane few efforts have been undertaken, whereas Johannesburg in particular but also other South Africa cities have made major investments to revitalise their inner-cities. The definition of the inner-city also differs between countries; in Lusaka the CBD is synonymous with the inner-city, whereas in Johannesburg the inner-city is considered much larger than only the CBD.

Soweto, The s“ torybook Place”: Tourism And Feeling In A South African Township Abstract This dissertation deals with the role of tour guides in creating and telling the story of Soweto – a township southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. The ts ory speaks of a place afflicted by poverty because of its history of segregation during apartheid but emerging out of these struggles to lead its nation in a post-apartheid culture. I argue that Soweto’s story was created out of a governmental mandate for the township to become one of Gauteng’s tourism locations, and out of a knowledge that the transformation story from apartheid to a ‘rainbow nation’ would not sell in this context. After being created, Soweto’s story was affirmed through urban branding strategies and distributed to tourism markets across the world. It is a storybook – a narrative with a beginning, a climax, and an ending; it is easily packaged, marketed and sold to individuals from across the world, and this is done through the senses and emotions.

    APPENDIX A_Historical overview of the Corridors of Freedom By Clive Chipkin Geology & Topography GEOLOGY and the 19-century World Market determined the locality of Johannesburg. TOPOGRAPHY contributes significantly to the sense of place, the genius loci, in a region of low hills and linear ridges. Gatsrand, 30 Km to the South; Suikerbosrand, 30 Km to the South East; the Klipriviersberg immediately to the South.

(Source: Office of Surveyor General, Cape Town, surveyed in 1939) The great plains of the continental plateau enters the town-lands: the Houghton- Saxonwold plain north of the ridges and Doornfontein to Turffontein plain occupying the space between the Braamfontein high ground and the Klipriviersberg. The spaciousness – a word used by the visiting geographer JHG Lebon (1952:An Introduction to Human Geography) – of the landscape means that Johannesburg, unlike Durban and Cape Town can expand in almost any direction but after a century plus decades of urban growth, it is our delectable ridges that remain repositories of ancientness.
