Spatial planning, infrastructure and implementation: Implications for planning school curricula
Infrastructure plays key roles in shaping the spatial form of the city at a macro- and a morelocal scale, and it influences the sustainability, efficiency and inclusiveness of cities andlocal areas. Linking infrastructure and spatial planning is therefore critical. Wide-rangingsets of knowledge and skills are required to enable planners to make these links, fromtechnical knowledge of different types of infrastructure delivery systems, institutions andfinance, to normative dimensions, such as sustainability, inclusion, liveability, efficiency,and their spatial implications, to socio-political, governance and institutional dimensions,such as the politics of decision-making, community participation, and negotiation. Amatrix of knowledge and skills is produced, and the way these fields of study have beentaken up in the undergraduate/honours planning programme at the University of theWitwatersrand is explored. The teaching methodologies and approaches which mightbe used to address these issues are discussed.
