This way of running the project makes it possible to better coordinate the levels of government and have only one team in charge of all aspects of urban development: roads, networks, schools, public spaces, housing, etc. In addition, the project relies on an association of various communities, the Alexandra Development Forum, and on the ward councillors to ensure ongoing dialogue with the populations. This notably allowed the project team to get the population to accept re-housing priorities: in order to build a school accessible for all, the households occupying informal housing on the land chosen for the school were displaced and rehoused in priority. In terms of housing, innovative solutions are used in large part to eradicate informal housing in the area. First, it is a “block by block” approach to different informal groups. Then, the housing solutions built and offered to the populations are 56. The National Department of Provincial and Local Government (DPLG).
