A “gated community” approach to development and growth is
not sustainable
The greater perspective …
Unsustainability of “Airport Precinct” Approach
South Africa unemployment rate at a 10 year high
+Growth drivers are weak and inflation drivers are strong. It’s very possible next

+12 million people live in extreme poverty
+Inequality is our reality: 85% of Africans still remain poor, while 87% of white
South Africans are in the middle to upper class categories
Fragility of “People and Society”

Unsustainability of “Airport Precinct” Approach
Unsustainability of “Silo Planning” Approach
