“Though housing is one of crucial forms of development, it is not done in isolation,” he said.
“We need to consider schools, sports grounds, transport routes and shopping centres, etc.”
During the workshops, residents shared the development needs for their areas, which the city will consider for incorporation into its plans for the specific areas.
They were also updated on developments coming to their areas.
Workshops for Brakpan, Benoni and Springs will be held from 9am to 4pm on November 20 and 21 at the Brakpan Indoor Sports Centre.
