The Department’s vision is aligned to the strategic paradigm shift away from sporadic and uncoordinated developments to purposely planned and developed “Mega Cities” that are completely self-sufficient in providing for the housing, economic and social needs of the community. As the Department rolls out the Mega Cities programme which focuses on building new cities of the future which will radically transform how human settlements are delivered across all the corridors of Gauteng, there is a need to form key partnerships to ensure proper planning and provision of all required infrastructure services such as water, sanitation, electricity, energy, roads and social amenities. This is a move away from one project delivery approach to a more clustered method – in order to maximise output in the provision of decent houses and impact on the eradication of informal settlements. The new cities will promote social, racial, economic and cultural integration. Additionally, the concept of Mega Cities reinforces the key principles and considerations of spatial reconfiguration, township economy revitalisation and massive infrastructure investment as a means of transforming settlements and cities into productive cities that are inclusive, sustainable and founded on principles of good governance. Mega Cities are in line with the fifth administration of government as pronounced by Gauteng Premier, David Makhura’s pronouncement during the 2014 State of the Province address. All the new cities will have major socio-economic benefits with regard to decent employment and economic inclusion. The Gauteng Department of Human Settlements will roll out a number of the Mega Cities Programme in this financial year. These new post-Apartheid cities will be rolled out in phased stages in the identified five (5) mega city corridors. These developmental corridors are categories into Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern and Central. Through the Mega Cities programme in the five corridors, the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements targets to build 520 000 housing units allocated into 140 000 housing units in the Central Corridor; more than 100 000 in the Eastern Corridor; more than 160 000 units each in the Northern and the Western Corridors and more than 120 000 units in the Southern Corridor by the end of the current term in 2019. 3 This move of the Gauteng Provincial Government towards radical housing delivery management seeks to change the current inefficient model to projects that yield less than 15000 units per project, either as an existing development cluster or as a new nodal development. It is envisaged that the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG), in partnership with the key stakeholders, will be successful in transforming and growing the economy. It is the collective view of the leadership in GPG that strong partnerships with the private sector, labour and the rest of society will help in the government’s efforts to deliver on this vision. Going forward, the GPG will work hard to consolidate and further enhance the important role played by cities as engines for economic growth, employment, innovation and invention. 4 Gauteng Mega Projects 1.
