This research seeks to understand this route and how an alternative route would respond to the context and present an opportunity to create spatially equitable spaces between Alexandra and Sandton on the NMT priority space. This will be done using the mechanism of urban design tools. Urban design tools themselves face various challenges as the underlying institutional context is often not conducive to creating some of the urban design objectives of spatial equity and the prioritization of NMT. This research, through a design strategy, proposes an alternative mechanism of coding.Online resource (160 leaves)enCity planning--South Africa--SandtonPublic spaces--South Africa--SandtonUrban transportation--South Africa--JohannesburgTransportation--South Africa--JohannesburgThesis
