What does an incrementally developing neighbourhood look like?

The graphic poster titled What does an incrementally developing neighbourhood look like? serves as a visual representation and interpretation of in-situ upgrading policy as it unfolds over time. The purpose of the poster is to engage the imagination and provide a tangible illustration of how a neighbourhood might evolve through incremental development. The poster is intended to be a valuable resource for non-governmental organisations (NGOs), municipal officials, and community development practitioners. These stakeholders can use the poster creatively in community engagements and advocacy efforts to represent community needs and aspirations in the context of an upgrading project. The organisations involved in the development of this poster include the Community Organisation Resource Centre (CORC), Development Action Group (DAG), Habitat for Humanity South Africa, Isandla Institute, People’s Environmental Planning (PEP), Ubuhle Bakha Ubuhle (UBU), and Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU).

Furthermore, the poster is linked to a submission that was developed to inform the post-Breaking New Ground (BNG) human settlements policy and legislative environment. In summary, this poster is a tool designed to spark imagination and facilitate discussions around the concept of incrementally developing neighbourhoods. It is part of a broader effort by various organisations to contribute to the shaping of human settlements policy and legislation in the post-Breaking New Ground era, with a focus on in-situ upgrading and community-driven development.
