Abstract

Until now the unique problems of the OFS Goldfields have not received due attention in terms of regional planning. Selected development problems are analysed as often being exaggerated by outside actors. There is also a critique of physical planning as embodied in the draft Guide Plan. It is concluded that real devolution of decision-making and greater accountability by the gold mines will unlock the full socio-economic potential of this multi-racial metropolis.
