THE LINKS 

The urban design strategy for Harare, Khayelitsha, focused on developing the existing activity nodes within the precinct; the final implementation project went on to link these spaces via a tree-lined pedestrian system.

The route was identified in community consultations as the most desired access route from the informal settlement through Harare to the station. Paving, new lighting, and seating along a previously sandy and dangerous route has transformed it into safe and bustling pedestrian link. This is supported by a variety of activities along its length, which contribute to providing passive surveillance.
