  1. Spatial Transformations: An IUDF Informed Perspective Spatial Transformation Conference | 05 March 2014 | Edgar Pieterse, SA Research Chair in Urban Policy

  2. IUDF mandate • IUDF processes • IUDF Framework & Key Lines of Argument

  3. The Integrated Urban Development Framework (IUDF) is a policy process and framework to understand why urban divides remain stubbornly in place, with an eye on promoting effective instruments to change this legacy and promote resilient and inclusive urban settlements. • The IUDF takes its cue the “Urban futures” vision set out in the NDP. In this section the NDP asserts: “The main challenge in planning for urban areas is to enable job creation linked to sustainable livelihoods and to establish well-performing human settlements. This should be at the heart of what municipalities do and how they function.”

  4. Policy gaps amplified by NDP • integrated human settlements & housing • public transport governance & integration • national, regional and local land-use management system • fiscal reform that can promote urban integration • legitimacy & trust in local governance

  5. Policy Framework The National ‘Consensus’: Transitioning towards resilient and shared growth by 2030 [NDP, New Growth Path & National Infrastructure Plan]

  7. Draft IUDF: 01 April 2014

  8. The IUDF identifies seven levers to effect urban transformation premised on an understanding that urban integration will follow a specific, yet dynamic, sequence of urban policy actions: a) integrated transport, that informs, b) targeted investments into integrated human settlements, underpinned by, c) resource efficient infrastructure network systems; and d) effective land governance, which all together can trigger, e) economic diversification and inclusion; and f) social transformation; which in turn will demand g) deep governance reform to enable and sustain all of the above. These policy levers address in combination the structural drivers that promote the status quo.

  9. Human development (education & health) Liveability (micro) Inclusive growth (macro) GDP growth & job creation Green-house gas emission reduction & resource efficiency Resilient growth (macro)

  10. DRIVERS OF URBANISATION GOALS LEVERS 1. Urban Form shaped by land markets 1. Integrated transport & affordable mobility 2. Integrated human settlements 1. Foster a shared approach to the strategic management of urbanisation in SA 2. Promote investments in resilient and inclusive cities & towns 2. Resource Flows conducted by infrastructure 3. Land governance 3. Cumulative effects of racial & class segregation 4. Resource efficient infrastructure systems 5. Economic diversification 4. Livelihood and settlement choices of the poor 6. Social transformation (neighboorhood) 5. Imperative of fiscal and political stability 7. Adaptive governance & planning

  12. In summary, the IUDF makes a case for a radical reprioritisation of routine urban investments to achieve more transformative outcomes… Prioritise the public realm as a source of community vitality, safety, access to economic opportunities and an inspiration for collective life… Deploy social economic and social enterprise imperatives to produce micro economies that can activate safety, public life, affordable mobility and durable housing And, simultaneously, create the green, economic, mobility and cultural weaves across different income settlements… To be sure, the governance and institutional implications of this agenda is radical.
