55 EXISTING SOCIAL FACILITIES Educational facilities in the Inner City area

56 CURRENT AND NEW SOCIAL FACILITIES School There is a dearth of social facilities and open spaces for inner city residents and users. New facilities have to be developed but the lack of open land represents a challenge. Creative ways have to be found to provide these facilities and services within small spaces.

57 REDEVELOPMENT OF A PRECINCT IN THE CITY THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED POSES A POTENTIAL FOR REGENERATION AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT WEST CAPITAL

It presents a unique opportunity for infill development that can complement current Inner City uses and functions. It will have a mixed use character with a focus on residential development and the provision of social facilities.

69 COMBINED ROUTES AND NODES The proposed Tourist Route is a combination of the number of routes that form one, clear route which reaches all identified tourist destinations. A number of nodes were identified in places where routes overlap. These nodes should be locations for tourist centres Identified nodes are: 1. Zoological Gardens 2. Church Square 3. Lilian Ngoyi Square 4. Pretoria Station 5. Union Buildings All Tourist Routes and Nodes

70 TOURIST ROUTES AND PUBLIC & NMT TRANSPORT Tourist routes should be linked to public transport stops and non-motorised routes. This is not the case along W.F. Nkomo Street; the southern linkage to UNISA along Nelson Mandela Drive; the eastern linkages along Stanza Bopape and Park streets; Thabo Sehume Street between Jeff Masemola and Elandspoort streets; and along Lilian Ngoyi Street between Helen Joseph and Jeff Masemola Streets.

74 CHANGE IN BUILT FORM

75 CONCLUSION Successful Implementation of these projects will ultimately contribute to the City s vision as they encourages a compact urban form, which promotes alternative and healthy transportation choices (i.e. walking, cycling and transit), better use of municipal infrastructure and attraction of investments It will also create an appropriate and conducive setting for all spheres of government within the Capital City Over the longer term, this style of development fosters a distinct community character that builds a brand and civic pride for the City and its neighbourhoods Through these efforts we hope that the City of Tshwane will be: Resilient; Liveable; and Inclusive

76 Together you can ignite the City of Excellence by regenerating the Inner City
