CORRIDORS OF FREEDOM Access Management (Ability) 2016 Herman Pienaar: Director City Transformation and Spatial Planning
PLANNING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS RATHER THAN A PLAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT DEVELOPMENT FACILITATION 2 OPERATIONAL & URBAN MANGEMENT
FUTURE GAZING 3 No fossil fuel driven private vehicles Car sharing is the dominant form of ownership Space requirement for movement of goods will crowd out private car modes.
Movement space is a public space 4
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 5 SPATIAL INEQUALITY ANS THE JOB HOUSING MISMATCH 3% of the metropolitan area hosts 1/3 of the jobs 5% of the metropolitan area hosts 1/3 of the inhabitants 0-300 jobs/km² 301-800 jobs/km² 801-1500 jobs/km² 1501-3000 jobs/km² 3001-5000 jobs/km² 5001-10000 jobs/km² 10001-50000 jobs/km²
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 6 DEPRIVATION, INEQUALITY & THE GEOGRAPHY OF POVERTY DIEPSLOOT COSMO CITY ALEX IVORY PARK SOWETO ORANGE FARM INNER CITY BASED ON 5 INDICATORS: Income Employment the areas with the highest population concentrations are the most deprived areas in the City Health Education Living Environment
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 7 SPATIAL DISCONNECTION AND LIMITED WALKABILITY 93% of the metropolitan area falls below the 100 intersections/km 2 Connectivity benchmark to support walkability INTERSECTION DENSITY
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 8 LAND USE DIVERSITY Limited diversity and inefficient land use patterns The lack of land use diversity is even more critical in deprived areas where we find mostly residential land uses
New York 28% 24% 23% 25% With current residential density levels, only 11% of the people will live less than 1km from transit 18% 83% London 22% 29% 31% Joburg now 7% 5% 6% 16% Copenhagen 27% 32% 25%
DRAFT COMPACT SPATIAL POLYCENTRIC DEVELOPMENT CITY IN FRAMEWORK 2040 - PEOPLE 2040 10 26% of the people living less than 1km from transit, compared to only 11% today. 64% living less than 2km from transit, compared to only 18% today 83% 35% Joburg now 7% 5% Joburg 2040 38% 15% 6% 11%
DRAFT SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 11 COMPACT POLYCENTRIC CITY IN 2040 - JOBS 33% of the jobs located less than 1km from transit, compared to 10% today. 80% of the jobs less than 2km from transit, compared to 17% today 83% 20% Joburg now 7% 5% Joburg 2040 19% 47% 5% 14%
SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 12 THE POLYCENTRIC CITY Traditional urban growth model
Joburg Structure: Inverted Polycentric Model 13 Urban inefficiency = high carbon emissions
Future Joburg Model: Compact Polycentric 14 Opportunities to create low carbon restructuring zones: Modal Density Job Density Social Density Residential Density

SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2040 16 CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOCUS Use Development Layers in Prioritising investment and managing growth in the city. These will be the primary layers in JSIP.

CORRIDORS OF FREEDOM Empire Perth Corridor Movement Transformation Significant reduction in carbon emissions NMT system Short distance fleet last mile Complete streets - New standards required Innovative solutions for constrained urban spaces
CORRIDORS OF FREEDOM Approach: Links & Connectivity Rational of Transit Oriented Development (T.O.D.) An approach to development that focuses land uses around a transit station or within a transit corridor Typically characterized by: A mix of uses - significant provision for public or civic spaces and comprising a mix of residential, employment, and retail activities Moderate to higher density Pedestrian orientation/connectivity Transportation choices Extensive provision for pedestrian and cycling movement Reduced parking A road network laid out in the form of a topologically open grid Extends to an easy walking distance radius of 400-800m 28
Walkability Analysis 29 Spatial influenced effected by a range of factors, including erf size, intersection density, street configuration, etc.
Economic Transformation 30 Empire Perth Corridor Breaking market monopolies and improving access to economic opportunities Supply chain monopolies Access to capital Accommodating informality (second economy) Stimulate new economic clustering and innovation Bring factors of production and innovation together in high efficiency hubs Broker the deal between land owners, developers, business and industry Special purpose vehicle Spatial response Create urban efficiencies and quality public environments Division of land and design principles No shopping centres?
Social Transformation 31 Empire Perth Corridor Westdene Dam Peter Roos Westbury Brixton Pennyville Noordgesig Quality public spaces A prerequisite for social cohesion Activation of spaces Efficiency of social facilities New standards required in response to high density environments High Density Schools Sharing of facilities Sport, Libraries Clustering of services and amenities Operational service levels Inclusive design Safety and universal access Inclusive housing options
