a powerful distribution centre and logistics node,<br />
including Blue Sky Logistics, Jonsson Workwear, Fast<br />
Freight, DB Schenker, Würth and DHL Supply Chain.<br />
Additional strategic land for industry is due to be<br />
released for development.<br />
One of the ways in which planners will promote<br />
competitiveness is to create an environment that<br />
will allow disruptive innovation through technology.<br />
One such project is the Alternative and Renewable<br />
Energy strategy which will limit the City’s dependence<br />
on the national grid. Ekurhuleni hopes to derive<br />
about 10% of overall electricity supply from renewable<br />
energy by 2021.<br />
Over and above this there are also six mega housing<br />
projects that are being planned across the<br />
City over the next five years. Mega human settlements<br />
are housing projects of 100,000 units<br />
or more. They offer various types of housing<br />
from fully subsidised, gap housing, social housing<br />
and bonded units. These settlements help<br />
the city to transform its disparate urban special<br />
patterns, increase access to socio economic opportunities<br />
and encourage social cohesion. These<br />
developments offer significant opportunities for<br />
investors across the full value chain including land<br />
acquisition, supply of goods and services, as well<br />
as actual implementation.<br />
