The West Rand District

In the Western Corridor, the West Rand district has experienced significant deindustrialisation owing to the decline of the mining industry, which was the main employer and source of revenue for municipalities. The economy of the Western Corridor will focus on the green (energy, transport, agriculture and forestry) and blue (fisheries, maritime and coastal resources) economy initiatives, tourism, agroprocessing and logistics. The Lanseria Airport and Maropeng World Heritage Site will be the main anchors of the new city and new economy.
