Spatial policy, planning and infrastructure investment: Lessons from urban simulations in three South African cities
This article is based on the assumption that more spatially efficient investmentchoices in both economic and basic infrastructure spending can make a significantimpact on the equity, efficiency and sustainability of human settlements. Emergingfrom work conducted as part of a Department of Science and Technology (DST)-funded Integrated Planning and Development Modelling (IPDM) project, the articleargues that decisions about infrastructure investment in South African metropolitanareas ought to be grounded in robust and rigorous analysis and scenario evaluation.More evidence, and better evidence, an understanding of spatial trends and theunderlying forces that shape them, are needed to support planning and infrastructureinvestment. Urban simulation platforms offer valuable tools in this regard. Findingsof simulation work in three metropolitan areas (eThekwini, Nelson Mandela Bay andJohannesburg) are presented to demonstrate this, and some implications for spatialpolicy, planning and infrastructure investment are highlighted.
