Document: Growth and Development Strategy for the City of Tshwane

CHAPTER 1: commences with a short statement on the rationale and importance of developing a Growth and Development Strategy for the City of Tshwane, sets out the Vision and Mission adopted for the City, and concludes with a discussion of the scope, purpose and objectives of the TDGS as well as the benefits that its successful implementation will
bring. The Tshwane Growth and Development Strategy (TDGS) is not intended to cover all elements of a comprehensive development plan for the City, but will rather comprise a limited set of high-impact, fast-track interventions that can act as catalysts for accelerated and shared growth. Thus, the 5-Year Strategic Programme and the various departmental planning instruments will continue in tandem with the TDGS.

The transformational agenda that is required to promote social inclusion and the strategies that will be required to mitigate against risk are also discussed.
