Infrastructure:

Infrastructure enables functional settlements as well as integrated urban design and place-making.  As human settlement projects are planned, the Department undertakes a holistic approach to ensure that the site development plans allow for the future necessary education, health, transport and socio-economic facilities for communities.  This also considers the desire-lines of the movement of residents within the site, safety aspects such as street lighting provision, as well as linkages through the road infrastructure to enable quicker access to economic activities. Human settlement provision is also directed to where bulk/infrastructure services [through MIG/RBIG] are in place which can enable future growth of the node in accordance with the Provincial and Municipal Spatial Development Frameworks.

The Department is also implementing catalytic projects in major centres which incorporates socio economic amenities.
