Submit your ideas for “Our City, Our Block”
For the last 16 years, the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) has played a strategic role in investing municipal funds in capital works projects that catalyse development and investment in key precincts across the inner city.
Starting this financial year (2017/18), the JDA is engaging with a wide range of sectors and industries in the Inner City (such as non-government organisations, private developers, investors, residents’ organisations, faith-based organisations, education institutions and social support organisations) and calling for them to identify a number of small-scale interventions (capital projects) in the Inner City.
Pitch your ideas and help the JDA, help you improve or transform the public realm and reshape the Inner City.
The purpose of this call for proposals from Inner City stakeholders is therefore to:
(1) Encourage formal and informal collaborative partnerships at a neighbourhood or precinct level
(2) Identify neighbourhood or precinct-scale capital projects that would return sustainable socio-economic benefits to inner city users
Submissions will be assessed as a two-stage competition and the evaluation criteria for each stage are clearly set out. The winning entries will combine responsiveness and impact with implementability and importantly, sustainability.
An application information pack setting out all requirements for the proposal with supporting documentation will be made available free of charge from 9:00am on Friday 6th October.
