6. THE CONCEPT – CORRIDORS
OF FREEDOM
• The City of Johannesburg is embarking on a new spatial
vision for the city in line with the Growth and Development
Strategy 2040, based on corridor Transit-oriented
Development (TOD).
• The shape of the future city will consist of well-planned
transport arterials – the “Corridors of Freedom” – linked to
interchanges where the focus will be on mixed-use
development – high-density accommodation, supported by
office buildings, retail development and opportunities for
leisure and recreation.

30. Proposed transit system
Several of the streets in Turffontein used to be tramway reserves and
consequently De Villiers-, Turf- and Turffontein Road have road reserve widths
of more than 18m. These road reserve widths are suitable to accommodate a
Bus Rapid Transit System.
31. Delineation of areas of densification
areas
Densification areas
Backbone for densification
policies, land use zoning and
development controls.
33. • How can we transform cities to be sustainable, efficient,
beautiful, and invigorating to the human sole?
• How can we bring together residents of diverse
backgrounds, and empower and uplift the disenfranchised?
• How can urban environments propel us to realise our
healthiest bodies, strongest communities, and most
creative minds?
• And practically speaking, how do we get from here to
there?
