An examination of the use of urban design instruments in promoting spatial equity in a non-motorized priority route: the case of an alternative Sandton-Alexandra NMT route

Description

This document is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree
Master of Urban Design at the University of the Witwatersrand, 2016 / The planned non-motorized transport (NMT) route in Sandton is part of the Corridors of Freedom project which seeks to change
spatial patterns in Johannesburg. This research seeks to understand this route and how an alternative route would respond to
the context and present an opportunity to create spatially equitable spaces between Alexandra and Sandton on the NMT priority
space. This will be done using the mechanism of urban design tools. Urban design tools themselves face various challenges
as the underlying institutional context is often not conducive to creating some of the urban design objectives of spatial equity
and the prioritization of NMT. This research, through a design strategy, proposes an alternative mechanism of coding. / MT2017
