This strategy includes a Provincial Spatial Development Framework (PSDF), which specifically addresses spatial development prospects on the provincial scale and for all sectors. The PSDF includes both normative principles, a report on the province’s situation, policy proposals, and territorial development blueprints. 4.2.2. Recent Planning on Municipal Scale The municipalities were first given planning responsibilities in 1995 via the Development Facilitation Act (DFA) under which the communes must elaborate Land Development Objectives. It is difficult for the municipalities to produce these LDOs as they were recently formed and have but little influence over real urban development.

4. Planning as Implemented in South Africa Today The appearance of new strategic documents rapidly made them obsolete. Indeed, starting in 1996, the communes were obliged to elaborate Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). The IDP or “strategic programme plan” is the essential element in current strategic planning in South Africa. It must allow the municipality to compare, for the coming five years, the city’s (economic, social, environmental, etc.) development objectives with the municipality’s financial capacities. This document guides the municipality’s development decisions and brings them into line with the city budget. The IDP also attempts to establish greater consistency between the various sectors of urban development, which are managed by different municipal departments. Each department is, what is more, in charge of elaborating a five-year sectoral plan that sets forth the major projects and lines of development. These sectoral plans (such as the Housing Plan) are an integral part of the IDP. Since 2000, 34 each IDP must obligatorily be consolidated by a Spatial Development Framework (SDF). The SDF is a section of the IDP that must visualize and spatially project the city’s development. The notion of spatial strategic planning is therefore now present on the municipal scale. This measure is relatively recent and the provinces have an important role to play in providing the municipalities with financial and technical support for the elaboration of their SDFs. The provinces thus ensure that the municipalities’ SDFs are in line with their Provincial Spatial Development Frameworks. Cape Town is currently elaborating its SDF and the document is currently undergoing a participatory process. The city of Johannesburg has completed its SDF. In addition, as the country’s economic capital, Johannesburg rapidly felt the need to formalize development strategies. In 2001, the Joburg 2030 was approved. It is a long-term strategy focusing mainly on the city’s economic development. The South African Cities Network (SACN), an association that brings together the nine biggest cities in South Africa and produces reports on the urban situation and good practices, promotes the production, following Johannesburg’s example, of long-term strategies called City Development Strategies (IDPs and SDFs are five-year plans). Most of the big cities in South Africa are in the process of elaborating their City Development Strategies, independently of the national legal framework centred around IDPs. 75 34. The Municipal systems Act (2000) made it mandatory to produce a Spatial Development Framework (SDF) within each IDP. © AFD 2009 Integrating Poor Populations in South African Cities
