, Introduction
Sustainable human settlements are critical to the achievement of the sustainable
development goals (SDGs) and the vision of a better future for all. South Africa, like
many other countries, faces challenges in ensuring the provision of sustainable
human settlements for all its citizens. However, the government of South Africa has
developed several key strategies to address this challenge. The concept of
sustainable human settlements has become increasingly important in South Africa
over the past two decades, given the rapid urbanisation and the country's legacy of
apartheid spatial planning. The government has recognised the need to create
equitable and sustainable living environments for all citizens, which is reflected in its
policies and programmes. This essay will discuss four key strategies for sustainable
human settlements in South Africa, namely: providing quality living environments,
broadening housing and tenure options, building an integrated non-racial society,
and maximising capacity building. Furthermore, the essay will argue that a holistic
perspective is necessary for the successful implementation of these strategies.
Practical examples will be provided to illustrate the implementation of these
strategies in South Africa.
Providing Quality Living Environments
One of the primary strategies for sustainable human settlements is to provide quality
living environments. This includes access to basic services such as water, sanitation,
electricity, and waste management. It also involves creating safe and healthy
neighbourhoods that promote physical and mental well-being. The government has
recognised the importance of this strategy and has invested heavily in providing
basic services to informal settlements and upgrading existing housing. In addition, it
involves the provision of adequate housing, public spaces, and transport
infrastructure. The provision of quality living environments requires a collaborative
effort between government, private sector, and civil society.
For example, the Department of Human Settlements, Water, and Sanitation
launched the Upgrading of Informal Settlements Programme (UISP) in 2009. The
programme aims to improve the living conditions of residents in informal settlements
by providing access to basic services such as water, sanitation, and electricity. By
