  • The Proposed Densities Threaten Johannesburg's Critical Urban Forest
    NAME: Johannesburg Urban Forest Alliance RESIDENT AT: 3 Rose Street, Melrose Estate DATE: October 3, 2017 City Transformation and Spatial Planning City of Johannesburg: Development Planning e-mail: [email protected] COMMENTS ON THE CITY OF JOHANNESBURG'S NODAL REVIEW, 2017 Dear Sir and Madam, The Johannesburg Urban Forest Alliance was established in July 2017, representing resident, heritage and environmental associations from across the city1. The purpose of the Alliance is to help preserve and expand the city's urban forest. While the Alliance acknowledges the importance of reducing spatial inequalities, and of integrating the city as a whole, we also believe that it is important that the natural environment and our green infrastructure be properly incorporated into the Nodal Review. It is the opinion of the Alliance that the proposed densities threaten Johannesburg's urban forest; will degrade the city's water resources; and that a significant re-orientation of the Nodal Review is therefore necessary. The proposed densities threaten Johannesburg's critical urban forest The Council's Spatial Development Framework (SDF) rightly emphasises the natural environment - the SDF says that increased droughts are possible in the future. Heat island effects, unguided urbanisation, degradation of freshwater resources, are among the most significant environmental risks. The opening section of the SDF states the following2: The natural environment is an essential element in the structuring of the future city. It is the environment around which all planning, development and land use decisions should be made. The natural structure should be seen as an irreplaceable city asset that provides valuable ecosystem services and not merely as unused land available for development.

  • APPENDIX a Historical Overview of the Corridors of Freedom
    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. In the foreground are the parallel East- West scarps and residue hills of the area magically named the Witwatersrand, looking northwards across a panorama of rolling country and gently sloping valleys to the Magaliesberg horizon – all part of the multiple Johannesburg immersion. Fig. 168 Section of topographical map of Johannesburg. (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. The north facing Parktown ridge with its extension on the Westcliff promontory and its continuation as the Houghton and Orange Grove escarpment to the east 244 Monika Läuferts le Roux & Judith Muindisi, tsica heritage consultants Office: 5th Avenue, 41 – Westdene – 2092 – Johannesburg; Tel: 011 477-8821 [email protected] form a decisive topographical feature defining the major portion of the Northern Suburbs as well and the ancient routes of the wagon roads to the north.
