Connectivity Model, one may identify areas of dislocation and test <strong>the</strong> efficacy, indicativelywith <strong>the</strong> Bid-rent Model, of various <strong>spatial</strong> interventions to rectify this.The diagram (Figure 3-10) reflects <strong>the</strong> result of <strong>the</strong> Bid-rent Model. The cooler-colouredareas (greens and blues) in <strong>the</strong> model represent those areas with relatively low bid-value,and correlate primarily with environmentally sensitive areas.The warmer colours (reds, oranges and yellows) show areas with relatively high bid-value,and tend to correlate with areas of <strong>the</strong> urban system that are fundamentally well structuredand enabling.Whilst <strong>the</strong> Connectivity and Bid-rent Models are not interconnected at this stage, <strong>the</strong>y areboth concerned with understanding a common issue: The Social Logic of Space, i.e. howto understand <strong>the</strong> interrelationships between different spaces, <strong>the</strong> factors that define <strong>the</strong>seinterrelationships, and <strong>the</strong> way in which to operate within <strong>the</strong>se interrelationships.The Connectivity Model provides a means of exploring <strong>the</strong> 'metric' properties of a <strong>spatial</strong>structure, whilst <strong>the</strong> Bid-value Model explores a wider range of 'topological' relationships.Figure 3-10: The Bid-rent Model for <strong>the</strong> GCR on a strategic levelSECTION 3: THE MODELLING ELEMENTS OF THE GSDFGAUTENG SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK 2011GAUTENG GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY46
