The opposite of permitted in accordance with a local spatial development framework. a compact city is urban sprawl. AGRI-VILLAGE CONCENTRATION ZONES A sustainable rural settlement which integrates residential development The Concentration Zones are the primary focus areas for high density, with agriculture in order to ensure the creation of vibrant, equitable and medium to high-rise residential developments and are centred around sustainable rural communities and food security.

The surrounding environment and with low traffic generating characteristics. realisation of these localities into fully fledged nodes will depend on a number of factors. While the future of these nodes is uncertain, the METROPOLITAN NODES potential for greater development is clear. Identifying future urban These are primary nodes of the highest order.
