The African Continent is rapidly becoming more urban! With more and more people making a living in townships it becomes a

challenge to plan for their housing, transport, water, and other essential services. Africa’s population is large (965 million in 2007)

and growing fast (3.3%p.a). The major problems facing urban centres are the decaying and ageing infrastructure which make it

less attractive to investment and hinders the development of Townships.

Township renewal is designed to benefit all people within the urban renewal area, in surrounding neighborhoods and throughout

the city and metropolitan area. The results of proper town planning often includes more open spaces, more efficient traffic

patterns, better transportation options, diversified housing choices and more enjoyable amenities.
