dc.description.abstractThis study set out to examine the role of coordination and intergovernmental relations in the delivery of sustainable human settlement in Gauteng. It aimed to answer how the interaction between the provincial and local spheres of government could be improved for better housing delivery. Effective intergovernmental relations are recognised in the Constitution and in the different pieces of legislation governing human settlements. In examining intergovernmental relations and coordination, the study followed a qualitative approach by interacting with provincial and local officials involved in the delivery of housing together with the method of observation by attending intergovernmental relations meetings. In addition, the study reviewed relevant primary and secondary documents. Calls for shifting the function of delivery houses to the City together with the fine tuning of associated fiscal flows were made. The findings note the critical role of intergovernmental relations in the delivery of housing developments. Appropriate intergovernmental relations norms and values that are applicable in a multi-level government are exercised and adhered to on an inconsistent and irregular basis. Joint work between spheres, aligned plans and effective leadership are some of the recommendations made in the study. Other recommendations include the promotion of non-hierarchical relations and ongoing assessment of intergovernmental relations to determine maturity and effectiveness.
