CHALLENGES & PROPOSED

SOLUTIONS City specific approach to funding landscape and

streetscape development are insufficient and hence

presented as slow or non improvement of the Inner City.

The City is in partnership with other government

Department through inter alia Tsosoloso Programme to

enhance landscape and streetscape development.

Partnerships with private sector specifically those that are

interested in greening are needed.

CONCLUSION

Need for protection and development of open spaces within

the Inner City

Innovative funding approaches required to enhancedevelopment of landscape and streetscape developments

within the City.

Key to the above is involvement and partnerships privatesector.
