We love this handy service delivery fault reporting guide created by @DAG__activism. It lays out the steps for informal settlement residents in @CityofCT to follow to report a broken service. @AsivikelaneWC
Is asking a developer to make a payment towards affordable housing a capital tax? Short answer: No. Long answer here drafted by Adv G Budlender SC : nu.org.za/wp-content/upl… #propertydevelopment #inclusionaryhousing #affordablehousing #undospatialinjustice @dag_action
And it’s a wrap! Over the past 6 months, we've engaged informal settlement residents, CSOs and just urban transition experts. This has shaped our approach to upgrading with social and environmental justice. See: isandla.org.za/en/projects/ju… #UrbanUpgrade #JustTransition #Deliberation

A developer making a payment in lieu of developing affordable housing in or nearby their development, is integral to fostering mixed income communities and addressing the spatial apartheid legacy. #capetown #inclusionaryhousing. A policy is needed to ensure this is clarified.
