To address our future infrastructure needs and realise our vision of Radical Transformation, Modernisation and Reindustrialisation, the Gauteng province has developed the GCR Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan (GCR IIMP 2030). As a comprehensive inter-sectoral plan, the GCR IIMP serves to provide clear policy direction to residents and investors, ensure collaboration across government and with the private sector, and promote sustainability through the efficient use of resources and the adoption of transformative technologies.

Mr David Makhura
Premier of Gauteng
Following the 2008 global financial
crisis, governments throughout
the world have increased their fo-
cus on infrastructure development
in order to boost economic growth
and job creation.
The link between infrastructure
and economic growth is high-
lighted in research conducted by
the World Bank which concludes
that a 10% increase in infrastruc-
ture spending results in an addi-
tional 1% in GDP growth.
South Africa has boldly responded
to addressing its infrastructure
requirements through the
adoption of the National Infrastruc-
ture Plan and the formation of the
Presidential Infrastructure Co-
ordinating Council (PICC). A long-
term project pipeline in the form
of 18 Strategic Infrastructure Pro-
jects provides an important com-
ponent to improving the country’s
competitiveness.
As Africa’s financial and services
hub, the Gauteng City Region
(GCR) boasts a well-developed
infrastructurenetworkthatsupports
a highly developed and diversified
economy. To address our future
infrastructure needs and realise
our vision of radical Transforma-
tion, Modernisation and Reindus-
trialisation, the Gauteng province
has developed the GCR Integ-
rated Infrastructure Master Plan
(GCR IIMP 2030).
As a comprehensive inter-sect-
oral plan, the GCR IIMP
serves to provide clear policy
direction to residents and
investors, ensure collaboration
across government and with
the private sector, and promote
sustainability through the efficient
use of resources and the adoption
of transformative technologies.
We look forward to building
productive partnerships with all
stakeholders to realise our bold
and exciting infrastructure plans.
FOREWARD BY THE PREMIER OF GAUTENG

INFRASTRUCTURE FOR GROWTH
The rapid pace of global urbanisation has put pressure on city regions to do more with less and to quickly
adapt to changing circumstances. The United Nations projects that 70 percent of the global population will
be living in urban centres by 2050 – up from the 30 percent of 100 years earlier. Some estimates put this
figure at 75 percent for urban centres in South Africa and 50 percent for the rest of the continent.
The National Development Plan Vision 2030 sets goals for infrastructure development to enable
socio-economic transformation. The goals include ensuring that by 2030:
• All South Africans have access to affordable, reliable and safe drinking water;
• Universal access to hygienic sanitation;
• At least 90 percent of South Africans have access to grid electricity, with the remainder accessing
electricity from off-grid resources; and
• Improved productivity of infrastructure and increased levels of public and private investment to
a combined 30 percent of GDP.
GCR Infrastructure Vision
Realising the GCR’s programme of Transformation, Modernisation and Reindustrialisation requires
infrastructure interventions to:
• Develop economic potential in individual corridors;
• Ensure growth and opportunities are equitably distributed across the GCR;
• Deliver housing and economic opportunities where most needed to realise radical spatial and
economic transformation;
• Ensure infrastructure efficiency through coordinated planning, prioritisation and timing of delivery;
and
• Unlock human capital in a dynamic, innovative, competitive and connected city region.
Realising an inclusive and competitive GCR requires that infrastructure development promotes
equitable access, sustainability connectivity, spatial justice and mobility. Underpinning these initiatives
is the institutionalisation of the Gauteng Infrastructure Coordinating Council and the embedding of im-
proved delivery systems to ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget and with maximum
impact.

DELIVERING ON INFRASTRUCTURE
The Gauteng Infrastructure Delivery Management System (GP-IDMS) allows for a systematic approach to
infrastructure management through the full lifecycle of assets. It outlines a uniform process for planning,
budgeting, supply chain management, project and programme implementation, and reporting, monitoring
and evaluation.
The Gauteng Infrastructure Coordinating Council (GICC) is an intergovernmental GCR Institution tasked
with the overall coordination and delivery of infrastructure. Chaired by the Premier, the council oversees
and monitors the implementation of the GCR IIMP 2030 and ensures alignment with the Presidential
Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) and Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIPs).
Development Corridors
The GCR’s space and economy are configured along five Development Corridors. The Corridors drive
radical economic transformation, decisive spatial transformation and re-industrialisation. Each has distinct
industries and comparative advantages:
• The Central Development Corridor is anchored around the City of Johannesburg as the hub of
finance, services, ICT and pharmaceutical industries.
• The Eastern Development Corridor is anchored around the economy of the Ekurhuleni Metro as
the hub of manufacturing, logistics and transport industries.
• The Northern Development Corridor encompasses Tshwane as the nation’s administrative capital
city and the hub of the automotive sector, research, development, innovation and the
knowledge-based economy.
• The Western Development Corridor includes the economy of the current West Rand District and the
creation of new industries in support of green technology and manufacturing, new economic nodes
and new cities.
• The Southern Development Corridor encompasses the economy of the Sedibeng district and the
creation of new industries to support and develop the agricultural sector, new economic nodes and
new cities.
