Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment / The research recognises the IDP as an important post-apartheid planning
tool that can potentially lead to integration within the City of Johannesburg.
However, for the IDP to attain its mandated goals, an enabling institutional
culture of the City and its units need to prevail. The gap/challenge is that the
institutional culture of the City and its departments/units are shaped by
Joburg 2030, a purely economic strategy that does not embrace the
principles needed for attainment of IDP goals. The principles needed for
successful formulation and implementation of the IDP are found in equity
planning theories and New Institutionalism. These are the principles that do
not form part of the Joburg 2030 vision. The solution is for the Joburg 2030
to include the planning principles as already highlighted. This solution will
affect departmental practices for the better.
