Mdantsane Urban Renewal Programme

Background
The underlying objective of the Urban Renewal Programme is to ensure that the programmes of the South African government on poverty alleviation, economic growth and environmental sustainability are implemented in an integrated manner. It is intended that they act as models for integrated governance in the future provision of government services. Eight urban renewal nodes have been identified and are located in five provinces. They have diverse needs and priorities, but they do provide major opportunities for piloting development approaches that may be replicated more broadly.
