Description

The City has development a wide range of policies and strategies that should inform the formulation of an economic policy and strategy framework and these include (amongst others); the Johannesburg Growth and Development Strategy; the 2006-2011 Integrated Development Plan; the Johannesburg Spatial Development Framework, Johannesburg Growth Management Strategy and the Joburg 2030.

Johannesburg Growth and Development Strategy (“JGDS”) 
 
The Johannesburg GDS presents the City’s understanding of the longer term strategic direction it should take, and future efforts undertaken jointly with social partners, needed to accelerate economic growth and enhance development in a way that both benefits all residents of Johannesburg and contributes to the further transformation of South Africa as a whole.
 
The role of this Strategy is to:  
 
  • Properly understand the trends and dynamics likely to shape the city’s future;  
  • Outline a robust argument for how to think about and plan for the most appropriate future development path;  
  • Outline a future “idea of the city”; and  
  • Shape the life-cycle development of the city by making and sticking to a clear set of longterm strategic choices  
The JGDS consist of a package of four inter-related components: 
 
  • A long-term strategic perspective. 
  • A development paradigm 
  • A Vision 
  • A clear set of strategic choices.
