dc.description.abstractIt is thus proposed in this thesis that low-income medium-density developments, located appropriately in inner city areas to kick-start settlements that are integrated, compact and promote mixed land uses, as well as aspiring towards sustainable urban development, are needed in the cities of developing countries. A typical example of such a housing development is Springfield Terrace Woodstock, Cape Town. This pilot project, demonstrating how the provision oflow-income medium-density housing (in the fonn of three- to four-storey walk-up blocks of flats) can be provided in central Cape Town and how these benefit from the existing bulk infrastructure. It further demonstrates how this housing type could be located and utilised to encourage a shift away from low-density to medium-density housing, particularly with regard to lowincome earners.en_ZA
