All these cities popping out in Gauteng seems nice--which may be--however, I really wish we had a walkable city with retail stores like Joburg CBD. These smart cities rely so much on malls and shopping centres.. Every time I think of the potential of Joburg it really angers me that our government does nothing to rejuvenate it.

[@troublemak3r134]

I feel you, I’d love to have a city with the European walking culture here anywhere in South Africa

[@majorwebprojects1412]

You know all those buildings in the Joburg CBD are privately owned, and the government can do nothing about them because it's private property.

[@ngmn5402]

​@majorwebprojects1412 not all, many buildings belong to government. Other many buildings don't have owners, and owners are not traceable

[@KayGeeLow]

@ i think that's what they were trying with Rosebank but maybe Space is the reason they cannot expand

[@KayGeeLow]

@@majorwebprojects1412 I didn't know, thank you for the info. Now what will it take for them to revitalise? Money or government involvement?

[@WarrenMoyes]

Love your videos! The natural sound is great but maybe you can add music over the parts where it is windy 🔥

[@AmoMoëti]

No it is fine with natural sounds including windy.

Mr David wooooow they did maintenance the last time when I was there in September things are not looking good but now I see all change.upgrading ,maintenance is important south Africa investors and government must always bare these in their minds

[@mbusosiera1648]

[@vaun1]

What the f are those electricity pylons doing in the middle of the office buildings?!?

[@WayneKitching]

The power lines were there first. They recently upgraded the lines and pylons. There are also pylons next to Melrose Arch, BTW.

[@vaun1]

@ ok but they are so ugly and yes the Melrose Arch pylons are still there true.

[@GraysonBothma-f1y]

Hi totally unimpressed 😒 really what is so unique about this city. All you see is a bunch of buildings nothing else no outstanding features to capture the imagination. When one thinks of new York for instance you think of central park .😅😅😊😊
