Abstract: | This paper questions whether integrated area development (IAD) projects provide effective vehicles for achieving integrated and sustainable development, and whether they represent innovative forms of planning practice. It considers the conditions for success, focusing particularly on institutional issues, and the limits and constraints facing these projects. The paper, which is based on a literature review of international experience and local case studies, draws on a workshop held in Durban, South Africa, in 2001. Here, case studies of IAD projects in Brisbane, Australia (Logan City), Cape Town (Landsdowne Road) and Durban (Warwick Junction and Cato Manor) were discussed. It seems that planners and urban professionals are only beginning to develop innovative social and economic measures that address disadvantage and that are responsive to local conditions. Furthermore, the whole area of environmental sustainability is one that is yet to make a mark on the way IAD is practised. However, IAD is becoming increasingly integrated across a number of dimensions. Bibliogr., notes. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
