Abstract

Since the end of apartheid, inter‐metropolitan corridors have become a cornerstone in the spatial development policy framework of cities in South Africa. Integrated Development Plans are central in this process and form a strategic element of the National Development Plan 2030. Using 2001 and 2011 census data, this study investigates socio‐economic conditions along the designated Western Development Corridor of the City of Johannesburg. The purpose of the study is to determine the extent to which pre‐existing conditions were conducive to its designation as a development corridor and to assess the appropriateness of the policy to achieve its goals as a “Freedom Corridor.” Resumen. Desde el fin del apartheid, los corredores intermetropolitanos se han convertido en una piedra angular en el marco de políticas de desarrollo espacial de las ciudades en Sudáfrica. Los Planes de Desarrollo Integrado son fundamentales en este proceso y son un elemento estratégico del Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2030. Mediante el uso de datos de los censos de 2001 y 2011, este estudio investiga las condiciones socioeconómicas a lo largo del Corredor de Desarrollo Occidental designado a tal fin en la ciudad de Johannesburgo. El propósito del estudio fue determinar hasta qué punto las condiciones preexistentes favorecieron su designación como un corredor de desarrollo y para evaluar la idoneidad de la política para lograr sus objetivos como un “Corredor de la Libertad”. 抄録: アパルトヘイトの撤廃以来、大都市圏にまたがる回廊地帯は、南アフリカ共和国の都市の空間的開発政策のフレームワークの基盤となった。Integrated Development Plans (総合開発計画)は、このプロセスの中心となるもので、National Development Plan 2030 の戦略的要素を成すものである。本稿では、2001年と2011年の国勢調査のデータを用いて、ヨハネスブルグにあるWestern Development Corridor の地域の社会経済状況を検討する。本稿の目的は、既存の社会経済状況がどの程度回廊開発としての役割に寄与したのかを見極め、政策が Freedoms Corridor という目標を達成するのに適切なものか否かを評価することである。
