CITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
One of the factors contributing to the strong resurgence of the innercity has been the emergence of city improvement districts providinga concentrated focus on management, investment and re-development.
City improvement Districts (CIDs) are geographic areas within whichproperty owners pay a levy to a management company to fundservices such as security, cleaning, maintenance and environmentalupgrading which are supplementary and complementary to theCity of Johannesburg’s services.
CIDs are based on international place-making best practice thatfocuses on providing the foundation for a steady progression towardsan exceptional experience in the public environment. The type andlevel of services required for each area is based on its own needs.
The Central Johannesburg Partnership (CJP) was established as asection 21 company in August 1992 to assist in urban management,and the establishment and management of CIDs in the inner city.The following is a description of the legislated CIDs under themanagement of the CJP.
The Braamfontein Management District map key
The establishment of a city improvement district was identified asbeing the most viable intervention to reverse the downward spiral thatwas occurring in Braamfontein in 2002. Braamfontein is now SouthAfrica's foremost receiving house of live entertainment, home to fourSouth African-based multinationals, the City Council and South Africa'spremier educational institution, the University of the Witwatersrand.The area has been given a new lease on life with the district's regenerationinitiative headed by the Johannesburg Development Agency and propertyowners. Through the establishment of the Braamfontein ManagementDistrict (referred to as the BID) and the launch of the Braamfonteinbrand, this precinct has been transformed into an appealing andsafe corporate district, educational centre, and entertainment andarts hub. Visit www.braamfontein.org.za for more information.
THE INNER CITY REGENERATION CHARTER
The Inner City Summit, held on 5 May 2007, was an initiativeof Executive Mayor Amos Masondo and brought together manystakeholders from business, community, state and municipalowned enterprises, and other spheres of government. The aimwas to find ways to further inner city regeneration and forgepartnerships for implementation. The Inner City RegenerationCharter was drawn up out of stakeholder working groupsand the final charter was approved by the city council. Forthe next few years the charter will guide inner city regenerationand all projects undertaken in the area. The objectives asdescribed in the charter are for an inner city that:
• Will be developed in a balanced way in order toaccommodate all people and interests.
• Remains as the business heart of Johannesburg as awhole, but which balances future commercial, retailand light manufacturing development with a largeincrease in residential developments.
• Works, as many other cities do elsewhere in the world,as a key residential node where a diverse range ofpeople from different income groups and backgroundscan have their residential needs met.
• Is the first entry into Johannesburg, but also a place wherepeople want to stay because it offers a high qualityurban living and working environment with availablesocial and educational facilities, generous quality publicopen space, and ample entertainment opportunities.
• Serves as both the key transportation transit point forthe entire Gauteng Global City Region, and as a placewhere people want to walk in the streets.
• Prioritises urban management, safety and security -the Johannesburg inner city will be well-managed, safeand clean.
