    MILPARK SOCIAL HOUSING CONCEPTS TO BE EXPLORED BY STUDENTS

    The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) has appointed Delta Built Environment
    Consultants (DELTABEC) as consultants to conduct a feasibility study for the development
    of social housing in the mixed-used precinct of Milpark.

    As part of the concept development and typologies process, postgraduate architecture


    students, from the University of Johannesburg and WITS University, were invited to submit
    proposals as part of a student competition arranged over two rounds.

    The theme of this Architecture Student Competition is “Social Housing Concepts and
    Typologies.” The shortlisted candidates will have the opportunity to develop their concept
    designs with a professional architect accredited by the South African Council for the
    Architectural Profession (SACAP) and attend a work for housing design to further their
    competition entries.

    professional bodies, and the academic fraternity to extend co-production opportunities in
    the process of spatially restructuring Johannesburg,” said Member of Mayoral Committee
    for Development Planning, Cllr Reuben Masango.

    Four groups, two from each university, will be shortlisted after an initial general entry round,
    to compete in the second round competition. The final winner will be announced on

    Background on the Milpark Precinct Urban Design Framework

    The City of Johannesburg has embarked on a new spatial vision for the City in line with its
    Growth and Development Strategy 2040, based on corridor Transit Orientated Development
    (TOD). Through this approach, it is envisaged that the growth of the future city will be
    guided towards well-planned transport arterials, with a focus on retail mixed-use
    developments, higher density residential accommodation, supported by office buildings,
    retail development and opportunities for leisure and recreation clustered along these routes.

    TOD are integrated, vibrant, high-density developments that seek to enhance pedestrian
    access to public transit options that will transform the City of Johannesburg to a people-
    centred city.

    Based on the above objectives and development goals, the Milpark Precinct Urban Design
    Framework was adopted as a vision for the precinct. New developments should build on the
    large institutional presence in the area (SABC, UJ, WITS, Media24) and the high level of
    public transport accessibility. Substantial new development is envisaged for this precinct,
    the majority of which should ideally be high-rise buildings.

    The Milpark Urban Design Framework was approved as Council policy in 2016 and contains
    principal propositions for the transformation of the Milpark Precinct.
