The study found that the lack of affordable housing options and the high cost of building materials are major contributors to the poor quality of buildings in these areas. The study also highlighted the challenges faced by community land trusts in securing land for development and the lack of government support for these initiatives. The study’s findings are particularly relevant to MBDA, as the organization is actively involved in addressing the housing crisis in Nelson Mandela Bay. MBDA’s mission is to improve the lives of people in the region by providing affordable housing solutions.
The MBDA’s role in urban regeneration is multifaceted. It encompasses a range of activities, including the development of new urban spaces, the revitalization of existing ones, and the promotion of sustainable practices. The MBDA’s approach to urban regeneration is characterized by a holistic and integrated approach, aiming to address the complex challenges of urban environments. The MBDA’s commitment to urban regeneration is evident in its numerous projects across the country.

The MBDA premises are undergoing a significant upgrade with the installation of a state-of-the-art satellite CCTV monitoring room. This innovative technology is poised to revolutionize security response rates, particularly in combating crime within the inner cities.
** The MBDA (Nelson Mandela Bay Development Agency) is stepping forward to be part of the solution in addressing the problem of “bad buildings” in the inner cities of Nelson Mandela Bay. They plan to hold a property development roundtable in October to bring together key stakeholders and develop a roadmap to address the issue. **Detailed Text:**
The Nelson Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) recognizes the urgent need to address the issue of “bad buildings” within the inner cities of Nelson Mandela Bay. While the MBDA itself has a single property in the inner city, its commitment to the community extends beyond its own footprint.
This is why we are focusing on developing a comprehensive and sustainable approach to property development. This approach will address the challenges of the sector, including the lack of affordable housing, the need for improved infrastructure, and the impact of climate change. The roundtable will explore the potential of innovative technologies and solutions to address these challenges. We will also discuss the role of public-private partnerships in driving sustainable development.
