6.6 Implications of Spatial Planning on Transport Planning<br />

freeway around the Evaton-Sebokeng complex and up to the CBDs of<br />

Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging in south, i.e. residential densification and infill<br />

developments.<br />

• Strategic development areas identified along the R59 freeway that could<br />

accommodate part of the increased need for residential development in this<br />

area.<br />

the formalisation of informal settlements around Vischkuil and Devon, both<br />
