Strategic framework for JHB Corridors of Freedom signed, strategy approved – Tau
The strategic area frameworks for the City of Johannesburg’s three identified Corridors of Freedom had been approved by council, on Thursday, executive mayor Parks Tau has revealed.
The proposed Corridors of Freedom were the Empire/Perth corridor, that would stretch from Empire Road in the Johannesburg central business district through to Soweto, the Turffontein corridor, which would connect the extreme south of Johannesburg with the city, and the Louis Botha corridor that would run the length of Louis Botha road.
Speaking at the Banking Association South Africa’s 2014 Banking Summit, Tau explained that the Corridors of Freedom project was aimed at “linking people to amenities and amenities to resources”.
He indicated that the next step in the Corridors of Freedom process, now that the strategy had been approved, would be to start granting land-use rights along the corridors.
“Any application that is in line with our land use rights would necessarily be able to access that land with greater ease,” he said.
Tau added that the city would, in future, move the bulk of its investment from the periphery areas to these corridors to create future efficiencies.
