Township renewal sourcebook

This Township Renewal Sourcebook is a product of the Training for Township Renewal Initiative (TTRI) – a joint project of the National Treasury, the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, and the South African Cities Network. Additional assistance was provided by FinMark Trust, Urban Landmark and the Development Bank of Southern Africa.

The expected outcomes of the project are:

• A clear progression from the urban development strategy level of planning to the development of neighbourhood or precinct-level plans for the regeneration and restructuring of townships.

• The development of a pipeline of potential projects that are appropriate and feasible, and which can be funded by national
government grants, private investors or municipalities.

• A larger pool of local project managers who can co-ordinate project partners, engage local communities, account to municipal councils and other funders, and project manage construction and urban management interventions.
