OVERVIEW

Bridge City: Living the South African Dream

INK Area Development

Bridge City is a new town centre that is being created 17 kilometres from the Durban city centre, bridging the communities of Phoenix and Inanda, Ntuzuma and KwaMashu (INK) and linking them into the urban system. This visionary new town will serve as the social and commercial centre to an area housing a population of over 800 000 people, who at present have generally poor access to facilities and social services. It will be a catalyst for economic growth and the empowerment of surrounding communities by improving their access to public transport and opportunities to work, travel, shop and do business within the INK area, via a symbiotic relationship between the public and private sectors.
