153.2.3 Summary of Spatial Development FrameworkFundamentally the Final Plan proposes that:! Gauteng should acknowledge the pivotal role the economy is playing inallowing the province to provide for its people, and that without economicgrowth such provision will decrease and poverty will increase, whilsthealth conditions worsen and education levels decline. Thus it is vital thateconomic growth and development be motivated and encouraged byaccessing the particular resources Gauteng offers.! Urban sprawl and peripheral growth be contained, and hence, that anurban edge be delineated which would determine the outer perimeter ofurban development. This is not only sound spatial planning, but makesfinancial sense, owing to the cost savings achieved by not having toextend services, infrastructure and facilities to the periphery.! People should be brought closer to their job opportunities, and hence, tothe economic focus areas, while their displacement from the core urbanenvironment should be halted. Thus, urban growth should be re-directedto allow for a more efficient and effective settlement pattern to beestablished.! Mobility and accessibility are very important given the fact that Gauteng isa highly mobile society and reliant on movement. It is deemed that fargreater integration between land use and transportation planning needs tooccur to optimise accessibility and mobility in the province.3.2.4 Specific Spatial Development Considerations3.2.4.1 Points of departure• The Gauteng Spatial Development Framework suggests that theGauteng SDI Rail Link could and should play an important role toachieve a more sustainable spatial development structure inGauteng.Gauteng SDI Rail Link – Inception Report, 15 June 2000
16• With this in mind, the following points of departure should form thebasis for the spatial considerations related to the project.- The rail should assist in supporting economic development.- It should assist in improving accessibility and mobility.- It should serve as a catalyst for sustainable land development.3.2.4.2 Main considerationsIn order to achieve a focussed approach to the project the main landuse considerations for a possible alignment of the rail are the following:• Location of main population concentrations.• Location of main areas of employment.• Main movement patterns.• Natural environment.• Development trends related to residential areas and employmentareas3.2.4.3 Development conceptThe above considerations have indicated that the Gauteng SDI RailLink should be a component of an integrated system, which willcontribute in the following manner as regards spatial development.• Regeneration of CBD’s.• Development of “new town” core areas.• Strengthening of existing vibrant nodes.It therefore suggests that the system will consist of a “main line” (theGauteng SDI Rail Link) and a system of “link lines”.The main line will link the major areas of job opportunities and higherdensity residential areas, while the “link lines” will serve to link lowerdensity residential areas to the “main line” (refer Figure 2b).Gauteng SDI Rail Link – Inception Report, 15 June 2000
