dc.description.abstractThis research addresses the social and spatial inequality in East London Central Business District (CBD), a challenge mirrored across South Africa. Focusing on redefining and re-framing 'Bufferzones', the study aims to integrate peripheral communities and vulnerable groups into the city center, whilst forging connections with adjacent neighborhoods. This strategy situates marginalised communities near essential resources and services while improving access to the CBD. The historical legacy of colonialism and apartheid, coupled with current spatial planning, has perpetuated racial divisions, exacerbating social and spatial inequality. By incorporating peripheral communities, the study seeks to create a more inclusive and equitable urban environment, bridging gaps caused by urban fragmentation and racial segregation. The mixed-methods approach of quantitative and qualtiive research seeks to develop a comprehensive mixed-use urban design strategy to foster a inclusive CBD. This research further aims to catalyse the rejuvenation of East London CBD from its current derelict and decaying state, encouraging social and private investment back into East London CBD.
