Abstract: This research study explores corridor development and the various impacts on its su"ounding urban environment. These impacts include socio-economic influences, land-use changes, movement and transport needs and a critical look at development control, with specific emphasis on densities. The functioning of activity ~idors differs depending on the specific contexts. For this reason it is useful to investigate theory, as well as local and intemational case studies to have a clear understanding of what a corridor is and how it can be beneficial. This research not only explores corridor development in the context of the Developing World, but includes the Developed World context in the investigation phase of the study. This study is significant in that it is not only relevant to the Developing World or Developed World countries, but can be applied to both. This study focuses on the role ofpublic transport in corridor development. Public transport can be seen as the catalyst for development that is needed along the NGC. At present the public transport system in the sub-region does not comply with envisioned demands and needs. This is a major concem for the City of Cape Town as it is generally accepted that public transport must play an important role in the economic and social integration and upliftment all along the NGC, as far north as the town ofAt/antis. It is contended that the value of this research project will lie in providing a clear understanding of the term corridor development and its relevance to the Northern Growth Corridor, and possibly to most others.
