Abstract
Johannesburg, like many other major cities in Third World nations is facing major urban influx, This
urban influx is causing extreme pressure on the existing social and economic fabric. This in tum has
resulted in fragmentation on a number of different levels - social, political, economic and physical.
The spatial organisation of the city appears to be incapable of coping with this fragmentation. The
means or method needs to be discovered where the fragmented elements of the city can be reunited
and absorbed into the city system. (Abbreviation abstract)
