Abstract
The renowned “Corridor of Freedom” in the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) was originally conceived as a reconciliatory lifeline of post-apartheid planning which acted as an intervention to foster spatial transformation. However, the city continues to encounter lingering inequalities and fractured geography three decades after the ushering in of a democratic dispensation and finds itself at a crossroads of car-centric development and spatial segregation. This study deployed a mixed methods approach, where both qualitative and quantitative data were collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders including CoJ officials and the community. The study findings reveal that the role of networked TOD can promote sustainable mobility and alleviate car independence in the CoJ. Moreover, the paper identifies suitable areas for TOD nodes in the CoJ that are suitable to support net- worked TOD. The culmination in the development of a Spatial Network and Morphology Framework for Polycentric TOD is named Jozi-Web due to its interconnected and accessi- bility provision. Such radical rethinking that hinges on Networked Transit-Oriented Development (NTOD) and its potential for an interconnected polycentric urban future promise to encourage sustainable urban development.
