Councils release land for the better utilisation of its immoveable property assets in order to meet governmental strategic objectives and community needs, whilst changing the picture of land ownership and readdressing the imbalances of past property ownership. The Urban Network Strategy (UNS) adopted by National Treasury is based on spatial targeting of land development, in order to maximise public investment. The UNS consists of Integration Zones which are prioritised spatial focus areas meant to promote efficient, inclusive, and sustainable forms of urban development.
