NSDF")

This National Spatial Development Framework (NSDF), the first of its kind, seeks
to make a bold and decisive contribution to bringing about the peaceful, prosperous
and truly transformed South Africa, as articulated in the Freedom Charter, the Reconstruction
and Development Programme and the National Development Plan. It does so in full 
recognition of:

• The stranglehold that the unjust national spatial development paradigms,
 logics
and patterns of the past have placed on our many attempts at breaking the back of
poverty, unemployment and inequality; • The valuable, and often hard lessons we 
have learnt over the last twentyfive years in our pursuit of national reconstruction,
inclusive economic growth and spatial transformation; and • The necessity for decisive,
collaborative and targeted state action in national space, to drive our country 
towards the shared, inclusive and sustainable future we desire and require.
