economic opportunities, and<br />
away from public transport<br />
nodes. In the next five to 15 years<br />
it intends to turn the tide against<br />
the current spatial patterns of<br />
apartheid in pursuit of spatial<br />
transformation and modernisation<br />
of human settlements across<br />
the province.<br />
The GPG says it will insist on<br />
planned and integrated urban<br />
development which will enable<br />
it to build more integrated and<br />
sustainable human settlements<br />
and communities that are inclusive<br />
and diverse. In addition,<br />
radical steps will be taken to transform<br />
the spatial configuration and<br />
landscape of <strong>Gauteng</strong> province<br />
through better and coordinated<br />
land use management and spatial<br />
development.<br />
Municipalities and stateowned<br />
land will also be brought<br />
into the picture, to ensure that a<br />
new built environment and inclusive<br />
spatial landscape emerges<br />
across the <strong>Gauteng</strong> city-region.<br />
This will be done through public<br />
transport infrastructure development<br />
and the creation of new integrated<br />
and sustainable human<br />
settlements and post-apartheid<br />
cities that are more connected,<br />
livable, smart and green.<br />
Accelerated spatial<br />
transformation<br />
Economic and spatial transformation<br />
must be underpinned by<br />
– and support – an accelerated<br />
programme of social transformation,<br />
at the centre of which is<br />
raising the living standards and<br />
quality of life of all the people of<br />
<strong>Gauteng</strong>. At the centre of <strong>Gauteng</strong>’s social transformation is its<br />
determination to improve the quality of education and healthcare,<br />
provide social protection to the vulnerable (in particular women<br />
and children) and to eradicate poverty and build social cohesion<br />
and social solidarity.<br />
