The City of Johannesburg is the largest of South Africa’s six metropolitan municipalities. It is one of the fastest-growing urban areas globally and is the epicentre of the national and the subcontinent’s economy. As such, it is consistently the destination of choice for both skilled and unskilled workers from beyond the borders of the province and the country.
The inner city was historically and remains the core economic and business node within Johannesburg, and is complemented by satellite nodes throughout the municipality. It is a city of stark contrasts, and despite the prevalent decline, the potential exists for regeneration, creating an environment for enterprises both large and small, and indeed livelihoods, to flourish.
