Jo'burg's REBIRTH
This thread will show you all the Urban Renewal happenings and the newly gentrified areas around the Jo'burg CBD. The Jo'burg CBD Urban Renewal Project is one of the largest projects of it's kind in the world.
_________________________________________________________________________________ I will first start with Braamfontein Braamfontein is an area within the Johannesburg CBD located near Park Station and connected to the rest of the Jo'burg CBD by the Nelson Mandela Bridge. Braamfontein is a very youthful and artisitic area of Jo'burg as it is the location of Wits University, one of the most prominent universities in Africa. Braamfontein is undergoing heavy urban renewal and is turning to a vibey, trendy, and edgy part of Jo'burg with a mix of old and modern.. very similar to London.

The next couple of photos is quoted from Jo'burg forumer Jakes1 in the Johannesburg Inner City Urban Renewal Thread.

Nice pictures, however, I really don't see the parallel between here and London at all. London looks very different to most things shown in these photos and, I'd imagine it feels rather different too. This is not to detract from what I see here (as I am impressed) more that I don't see the comparison.

I still think it's got quite a London vibe though. |

Only 2 comments and one of them was from a forumer who lives in Jo'burg.
I guess no one's interested, how discouraging.
