Housing is undoubtedly a huge problem for the urban poor, particularly in developing countries. Sub-Saharan Africa bears the brunt of this housing challenge. This chapter proposes inclusionary housing and mixed-use development to include poor people in housing and development and respond to the need to redress spatial inequalities and imbalances. This chapter is based on a selected precinct in the South of Bloemfontein a secondary city in South Africa wherein a methodical spatial analysis was undertaken with the view to make the most suitable proposal/plan for the area. The objectives of the proposed plan are to (i) provide for housing opportunities for people of all income classes, (ii) provide for an inclusive, integrated and mixed-use neighbourhood, (iii) facilitate diversification of the local economy to contribute to the reduction of unemployment. The study employed a two-pronged approach involving the collection of both primary and secondary data. The first task was a comprehensive desktop study of various economic, statistical, and spatial data about Bloemfontein. The second task involved visiting the study site and conducting a thorough spatial analysis. Analytical and creative skills were applied to develop a suitable plan for the study area based on all the data gathered and scrutinised. The study reveals that there is a strong lack of housing and supporting infrastructure in the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality (MMM). The proposed strategy recognises that providing housing alone is not enough to address the broader challenges facing low-income communities, such as access to jobs, education, healthcare, and public services. The study thus argues for and proposes inclusionary housing and mixed-use development as a suitable response to the housing and economic problem in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
