Infrastructure investment, together with the use of public land and buildings, is a critical lever to achieve spatial and economic justice by connecting South Africa’s citizens, integrating its communities and bringing people closer to work opportunities, Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia De Lille said on June 23. It is for this reason that the Infrastructure and Investment Office in the Presidency, together with the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI), embarked on an extensive consultation process and developed a new methodology of planning and project preparation, she elaborated, noting that it was also borne out of the consultation process at the preparation meeting in February for the inaugural Sustainable Development and Infrastructure Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA).
