A
structure plan, for the municipality Tshwane was made by the university of
Pretoria with support of the Technical University and the municipality Delft
for building, 1700 houses with a subsidy of the South African government.
The name of this project is
Eerste Fabrieke; named after the area. where the project will be realised. The
set-up of the project has been exhaustively described and clear agreements have
been made between the Delft and South-African partners.
Cooperation with experts from
Delft gave the municipal authorities of Tshwane much insight view on the field
of spatial scheduling and town planning.
The main result is a concept
planning for the development of the Eerste Fabrieke area. This concept exists
of a project plan and a step-by-step plan. Discussions in the formulation-phase
formed the basis for a definite planning for the coming years.
Sticking point is the lack of
experience in the realisation of a large-scale project. For this reason Delft
wants to give administrative support in the form of (shade -) project
management. The role of this Delft group will be to advise and assist in the
implementation of the project till 2009.
