This Inaugural Tshwane Investor Summit takes place against the backdrop of Tshwane Vision 2055, and thus supports the key desired growth and development outcomes of the CoT in the next forty years. According to Vision 2055, the vision of the CoT translates into six broad outcomes that represent the areas that are key for the CoT’s broad development logic over the next four decades. The six outcomes are:

 

• Outcome 1: a resilient and resource efficient City;

 

• Outcome 2: a growing economy that is inclusive, diversified and competitive;

 

• Outcome 3: quality infrastructure development that supports liveable communities;

 

• Outcome 4: an equitable City that supports happiness, social cohesion, safety and healthy citizens;

 

• Outcome 5: an African capital city that promotes excellence and innovative governance solutions; and

 

• Outcome 6: South Africa’s capital city with an activist citizenry that is engaging, aware of their rights and presents themselves as partners in tackling societal challenges.

 

Central to the CoT’s agenda is the creation of employment, the elimination of poverty, the reduction of inequality and the creation of a better life for all residents.
