The role of Integrated spatial planning in restructuring Cape Town : the redevelopment of Wingfield

Includes bibliographical references.Many South African cities, including Cape Town, have inherited an skewed urban form which is intensified by the current high levels of in-migration and urbanization which cause great socio-economic and spatial structural urban problems. In a response to these urban issues, this dissertation argues for strategic integrated infill developments on well located, vacant land parcels which are believed to serve as the restructuring mechanisms and urban management tools for reversing Cape Town’s inefficient urban form. This dissertation presents a spatial framework for the Wingfield site that will include a dense, integrated infill development proposal which potentially will pave the way for similar future integrated development proposals. Collectively, these infill-pockets of developments will shape the Cape Town Metropolitan Area (CTMA) into a positive and integrated urban environment that is ecologically sustainable, economically durable and socially just
