It's a step forward in addressing spatial inequality and transformation in the city and it will promote accommodation opportunities for low-to-middle income households.
Reuben Masango, the City's MMC for Development Planning, said the gap between poor and rich is widening due to spatial inequality.
People are struggling to get accommodation close to their jobs.
The new policy aims to guide development to enrich communities closer to job opportunities, Masango said.
