Housing development is planned with the principle of a mixed socio-economic structure that keeps different income groups together. Social housing and affordable units are balanced with middle-income and free-market housing to prevent spatial segregation. Housing clusters are supported by parks, schools, clinics, and neighborhood commercial areas within walking distance.
Public spaces are at the heart of the Leratong Smart City vision. Large parks, linear green corridors, sports fields, and multi-purpose squares are designed not only for recreation but as social infrastructures that strengthen community life. These spaces form a network that creates physical and social connections between neighborhoods.
The project is supported by public transport integration, pedestrian and bicycle-priority streets, digital infrastructure-ready parcellation, and energy-efficient building standards. Leratong Smart City is positioned as a new urban attraction center for Mogale City in the long term, and a model transformation area that provides employment and increased quality of life.
