  • Historical Evolution of Durban's Public Transport System and Challenges For
    Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system Historical evolution of Durban’s public transport system and challenges for the post-apartheid metropolitan government Sultan Khan School of Social Sciences University of KwaZulu-Natal [email protected] Abstract The history of public transport in Durban is characterised by a diverse set of socio-political forces that have shaped and styled its present form. Characterised by horse and cart driven coach modes of transport in the early colonial period, Durban’s transport systems’ transition to motorised forms has been founded on racial exclusionary measures that sought to sustain white monopoly over the economic sector at the expense of under-development of the vast majority of disenfranchised Blacks in the city. In its transport history different modes of conveyance were used and it rapidly adapted to motorised transport which placed Durban in the forefront of economic prosperity. To Durban’s credit its transport sector boasts to have made a transition from exotically human drawn rickshas, to an animal drawn tram which was later superseded by electric driven trams. Durban was the first province to have introduced the railway mode of transport which served as a foundation for its economic growth. Notwithstanding these achievements, both during colonialism and apartheid the transport sector excluded the majority of the Black populace in the city and even when it did include them strict racial separation was maintained. Under apartheid transport engineering was heightened to keep racial groups apart and Durban was the first city to respond to the notorious Group Areas Act which created racial enclaves in the form of townships for the different race groups.

  • Industrial Estates and Economic Development in Durban, South Africa
    In with the new and out with the old? Industrial estates and economic development in Durban, South Africa Authors: Glen Robbins* ([email protected]) Myriam Velia* ([email protected]) Jana Rogoll** Chiedza Audrey Moyo** Corresponding author: Glen Robbins, [email protected], Development Studies, Shepstone Building, Howard College Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, 0824969396 * Senior Researchers, South African Research Chair Initiative for Applied Poverty Reduction Assessment, School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu- Natal. ** Research Assistants, South African Research Chair Initiative for Applied Poverty Reduction Assessment, School of Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu- Natal. Abstract: In cities where manufacturing has thrived, considerable local attention has been given to the development of areas of land for industrial estates. The development patterns of many cities have thus been heavily influenced by choices about the location of, and infrastructure for, industrial estates. These estates, and the businesses that have occupied them, have contributed to the growth and identities of cities. Yet, as much of the world has transitioned away from established forms of mass production, and as the influences of globalised value chains in production have escalated, challenges for mature industrial estates have increased whilst demand for greenfield land development opportunities has grown. In this context it is not uncommon for cities to have new mixed-use industrial or business estates and older estates in varying states of transition from older dominant uses to non-industrial uses or to a mix of these and a variety of evolving industrial uses. With the transformation of industrial estates regularly noted in various local urban policy formulations, and occasionally considered in national policy, questions arise of how best to attend to the often-varied needs of mature industrial areas, including those experiencing decline and urban decay.

Name______________________ Signature____________________ Date__________ - iii - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author acknowledges the following people for their invaluable contribution: Professor Chris Buckley for his extraordinary talent, open mind, insight and care. Dr Jennifer Pretorius who conceived the project. Kantey & Templer for unequivocal support. The Institute of Groundwater Studies from the University of the Free State who funded the project.

The widespread production, distribution, storage and use of LNAPLs results in the ubiquitous occurrence of spillage to ground (Geller et al, 2000). Considering the hazardous nature of most LNAPLs due to their explosive and toxic characteristics, releases of LNAPLs to ground have well documented human health and ecological consequences.

  • Proposed Upgrade of the N2 Highway from the Lovu River to the Umlaas Canal, Ethekwini Metropolitan Municipality, Kwazulu-Natal
    PROPOSED UPGRADE OF THE N2 HIGHWAY FROM THE LOVU RIVER TO THE UMLAAS CANAL, ETHEKWINI METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITY, KWAZULU-NATAL Phase 1 Heritage Impact Assessment March 2017 Author: Jean Beater JLB Consulting Client: Marvin Grimett KSEMS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The South African Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) proposes to upgrade the N2 Highway from 2 to 4 lanes between Umlaas Canal and Lovu River. The project includes the upgrade of 4 interchanges and realignment of a portion of the N2. Other activities associated with the road upgrade are: the widening and lengthening of river bridges, construction of new bridges, upgrade of some major and minor culverts and axillary works which includes drainage and guardrails. The project also includes the widening of existing underpasses along the route. The road reserve will increase from 50m to 70m. The project is located within the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. The distance between the Lovu River and Umlaas Canal is approximately 16km. The proposed upgrade therefore triggers section 38 of the National Heritage Resources Act (Act No. 25 of 1999) that lists developments that may require a heritage impact assessment (HIA). The proposed upgrade triggers sub-section (1) (a) of section 38 that refers to the construction of a road, wall, power line, pipeline, canal or other similar form of linear development or barrier exceeding 300m in length.
