Investment in the Inner City is booming thanks to the continuous hard work and investment by the Johannesburg Inner City Business Coalition (JICBC). A study recently completed by the Central Johannesburg Partnership (CJP) reveals that members of the JICBC have invested nearly R4 billion between 2006 and 2009 in the Inner City of Johannesburg. The study also indicates that capital investment by the private sector in public space and including joint ventures is sitting at a staggering R27,4 million from 2006 to 2009. Further investment of R120 million in the public space is planned over the next three years. Many members of the JICBC are also committed to and are members of Joburg’s Inner City improvement districts (CIDs). A clear indication that improved management of the public space supports and enables investment by the private sector in property in the Inner City.
