THE UMNGENI PRECINCT PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN ARCHITECTURALRESPONSETHATRESPONDSTOITSCONTEXTANDBRINGSTHECOMMUNITY TOGETHER TO INNOVATE, CO CREATE, SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TRANSFERS, ENHANCE EXISTING BUSINESS AND CREATE SOCIO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE. SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOOD FROM AN URBAN PLANNING PERSPECTIVE IS A GLOBAL PLANNING POLICY CONCERN FOR THE 21ST CENTURY HANSMANN ET AL., 2018 . A COMMUNITY LED DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE THE OVERARCHING GOVERNING INTENT FOR DESIGN INDUSTRIES INVOLVING THE COMMUNITY AS A BOTTOM UP APPROACH RATHER THAN A TOP DOWN, IT MUST BE A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FROM ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR, TO INVESTORS AND PROFESSIONALS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, FURTHERMORE, THE LACK OF ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE OLD BUILDING, DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS, COUPLED WITH THE PROCESS THAT IS REQUIRED TO GAIN ACCESS FROM A LOCAL AUTHORITY SUCH AS AMAFA HERITAGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COST THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE A DISCOURAGING BUSINESS VENTURE EVEN FOR D E V E L O P E R S .
