Despite doom-and-gloom stories emanating from the Johannesburg CBD, all hope is not lost. In the heart of the inner city, thanks to the private sector, are pockets of vibrant, flourishing blocks of redevelopment that compare favourably with those of any first-class overseas city.

We’ll be doing a series of interviews on the revival of the Joburg CBD.

First we focus on the Walkable Network, a Johannesburg Inner City Partnership initiative aimed at improving walkability along streets and in other public places through pedestrianisation, public art, street furniture, lighting, landscaping, signs, safety and cleanliness interventions through partnerships with public, private and civil society stakeholders from the property, design, security, waste management, academic and food production sectors.
