5. The Hindrances to the Effectiveness of Planning Methods strategic and spatial development blueprints contained in the SDFs. Revising these documents is a laborious, time-consuming process that requires considerable skills. In addition, modifying an urban planning document interferes directly with individuals’ private interests. Indeed, altering land development rights penalizes some actors but not others and hinders the deployment of certain projects. This is why, on Reunion Island, some mayors have not been able to revise their PLUs because of individuals’ competing demands; this is one type of clientelism. In the same way, and given the weight of the private sector in South Africa, the municipalities do not and cannot necessarily revise zoning and the assorted regulations. Being unwilling to overhaul urban planning documents amounts to depriving oneself of a tool and allowing the past to continue to operate. This maintains a grey zone conducive to urban development that the government has a hard time managing and creates a considerable hindrance to the application of the desired spatial strategy. 84 Integrating Poor Populations in South African Cities © AFD 2009
Paths Toward More Profitable Planning 6 6.1. Effective Awareness Despite all of these difficulties, one should note that strategic planning, like regulatory planning, has evolved greatly since 1994. Numerous articles have been written on this subject by the scientific community, and the three spheres of government now seem to view planning as a powerful tool to take advantage of in order to build South African cities in a more anticipated manner. The example of Philip Harrison is revealing: former researcher with the University of the Witwatersrand, co-author with Alisson Todes and Vanessa Watson of Planning and Transformation: Learning from the Post-Apartheid Experience, he was hired at the start of 2007 by the municipality of Johannesburg to run the Development Planning & Urban Management Department. 85 The appearance of IDPs and their spatial configuration with the SDFs appear to be significant and designate the municipalities as the central link in strategic and spatial reflection on public policy implementation. In Johannesburg, attention to public transit, and especially a rapid bus system has, among other things, taken form with Johannesburg’s SDF. © AFD 2009 Integrating Poor Populations in South African Cities
