NATIONAL TREASURYNEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP GRANT
OUR OBJECTIVES AND AGENDA FOR TODAY
• Strengthen strategic and practical alignment between City of Matlosana Municipality and NT: NDGP on the approach to pursuing more integrated, equitable spatial and economic development
• Focus on spatial urban form and spatial targeting using the Urban Networks Strategy
• Accelerating catalytic interventions in City of Matlosana Municipality
Objective
• Strategic partnership based alignment of City of Matlosana Municipality and NT and implementation of the Urban Networks Strategy
• This requires clarity on the next steps with:• Strategic spatial planning• Pipeline of catalytic interventions
Desired outcome

CONTEXT OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
• The NDP was established in 2006 and is responsible for managing the Neighbourhood Development Partnership Grant. Grant Purpose:
• From the start of the programme until the end of 2012/13 the NDP has:– Approved municipal business plans to a value of R4.0bn– Approved project plans to the value of R 3.9 bn. – Completed 129 municipal NDP projects – Disbursed a total of R615m to service providers and municipalities,
94% of its budget.
To support and facilitate the planning and development of neighbourhood development programmes and projects that provide catalytic infrastructure to leverage 3rd party public and private sector development towards improving the quality of life of residents in targeted underserved neighbourhoods (townships generally) Division of Revenue Bill, 2013 (Bill No. 02 of 2013)
NDPG FUNDED URBAN HUBS IN SA CITIES: BRIDGE CITY, ETHEKWINI

NDPG: LESSONS LEARNT IN TOWNSHIP REGENERATION
• Multiple spatially disparate “ad-hoc” township projects in the absence of an integrated and co-ordinated city-wide urban regeneration strategy has very low impact– All spheres of government need to be involved.
• Project prioritisation not to be informed by vested interests• Private fixed investment is dependant on the above• Limited municipal capacity to plan, assemble and align
multiple funding sources in single large-scale mixed use development
• Land issues dictate project progress and viability• Opportunities exist to develop and diversify township
economies by leveraging mixed-use transit orientated development

FOCUS IS ON CITIES AS THEY ARE THE CENTRES OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
A TARGETED INVESTMENT PROGRAMME IN SA’S 18 LARGER URBAN CENTRES

URBAN GROWTH MAY DEEPEN INEQUALITY AND EXCLUSION IN OUR CITIES
8
• Poverty and unemployment, especially among youth• Sprawling, monotonous, dormitory landscapes, with long
travel times for poor to access amenities, services & opportunities
• Compounded by climate change and weak governance, and may result in rising social conflict (service delivery protests)
• Accelerating economic growth required that we address:– future supply side bottlenecks from unavailability of public
infrastructure (new, expanded and rehabilitated assets)– continued low levels of private sector fixed investment in the built
environment
A MORE STRATEGIC APPROACH IS CRITICAL TO LEVERAGE REAL CHANGE

• Consensus on concepts
• A programmatic approach
• Strong partnerships

WHY FOCUS ON URBAN SPATIAL FORM?
• Severe inequality is clearly represented in the spatial form of all our cities– Exclusionary (spatial patterns of access to services and opportunity)– Inefficient (growing fiscal and economic costs in supporting the current
spatial form and design)– Unsustainable (severe environmental and social risks)
• Public policy unwittingly reinforced these divides, and set them in concrete– A lack of adequate forward planning to deal with continuing pulling
power of cities & environmental factors affecting cities– A renewed focus on the quality of urban and economic growth is
required
10
THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN URGES COORDINATED ACTION
– Tackle spatial development patterns directly– Combine the use of multiple instruments:
• Strengthen strategic spatial planning• Coordinate the use of Planning, regulatory and investment tools
and strategies• Leverage public transport, infrastructure, land and housing
investments• Use a spatial focus to target more public resources
11
“The Commission provides a proposed schema for spatial targeting that indicates where investment should be focused, and we identify elements of the existing broad consensus for transforming towns and cities”
National Development Plan, 2012
THE URBAN NETWORKS STRATEGY
An integrated hierarchy of land use clustering & connectivity
THE NEW APPROACH WILL ENABLE GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
• Transit-orientated• Partnership-based • Targeted (precinct) investment • Aimed at strategic spatial transformation • Optimise access to social & economic opportunities,
especially for the poor • Minimise transaction costs to participate in the urban
economy• Replicable model

I. Primary Network
II. Secondary Network
14
THE TWO SPATIAL PRINCIPLES UNDERPIN THE URBAN NETWORKS STRATEGY
The primary network is at city-wide scale and consists of anchor nodes, i.e. the CBD and a number of Urban Hubs, as well as Activity Corridors between these anchor nodes .
Secondary Nodes are smaller nodes within township areas connected to the Urban Hub and serving as “neighbourhood” or lower order nodes.

17
• Strong urban network with a hierarchy of well connected nodes
• Efficient flows of people, goods & information
• Targeted public infrastructure that catalyses ubiquitous distribution of public & private sector investment
• Good access to jobs & amenities
The urban networks strategy is aimed at integrated growth & development

INVESTMENT CASE STUDY: MAMELODI
Numerous ad-hoc non integrated or aligned projects. Little co-ordination of public funds

Urban Hub and secondary nodes, spatial logic, spatial targeting results in integrated or aligned projects. Better leverage through the
co-ordination of Public funds

NDPG FUNDED URBAN HUBS IN SA CITIES: MITCHELLS PLAIN
VIBRANT URBAN HUBS ARE KEY ENTRY POINTS• High density, mixed use precinct that contains a diverse variety of land
uses, services and activities• Function:
– “Town centre” for township/s– Gateway to the rest of the wider urban area
• Efficient multi-modal public transport system & a precinct network of public spaces and walkways
• Leveraging of investment:– Retail– Recreation, hospitality & tourism– Offices, banking– Community facilities & govt services– Higher density housing
• Within an urban design framework that promotes a vibrant sense of place in which to live, work and play

Objective: An inclusive, vibrant, safe, investment friendly hub
• Economic Development• Place marketing• Lifestyle event management • Risk management• Safetyo Security presenceo Active edges rather than dead zones - e.g. walls
& vacant stands• Clean and well maintained precinct public spaces
