Integrated Transport Plan.pdf - Durban

As shown in the plan there is a network of investment nodes and corridors
heavily orientated towards a well-defined public transport network. The
investment and economic nodes and corridors include new opportunities in
terms of, inter alia; tourism, organic and muti growing centres, and the
iDube Tradeport logistics platform adjacent to the proposed King Shaka
international airport.
Apart from these strategic new development
initiatives the IDP focuses strongly on reviving the
central area and South Durban Basin which in
recent years have experienced varying degrees of
degeneration and migration to other parts of the
City.
Within the urban edge, densification is promoted to make best use of
available infrastructure capacity and minimise the cost of bulk services.
Support for densification along key public transport routes further supports
the concept of improved cost efficient service to the community with a
particular focus on the poorer community.
Cluster development at nodal points of transport activity further strengthens
the efficiency of transport in both the urban and rural areas of the city. In
particular, the clustering at rural nodes of social service and economic
activity, apart from tourism and agriculture based activities, significantly
improves accessibility for isolated and marginalised rural residents.
