Joburg on Foot

Johannesburg Inner City Partnership, Hannelie Coetzee and Young Urbanists partner to present Joburg on Foot, a guided walk through Johannesburg’s inner city, led by Hannelie Coetzee with JICP and supported by Young Urbanists.

Starting at Park Station, the walk follows Joubert Street and explores works underway and planned along the route, including the intersection with Lilian Ngoyi Street and the proposed Pocket Plaza.

Young Urbanists will also share a future vision for making Joubert Street a more comfortable walking route between Park Station and Gandhi Square, using street experiments at key intersections, safer crossings, planting, public space and SUDS.

Meet at Father Coffee, Rosebank from 08:30 or meet at Park Station Gautrain before 10. The group leaves at 09:10 for the Gautrain. The walk starts at Park Station at 10:00 and finishes around 11:30. Security will accompany the group throughout the inner-city walk.

This event forms part of Design Week South Africa’s UNBUILT programme, a series exploring the future of South Africa’s built environment, sponsored by dhk Architects.
