“Learn as if you could never have enough of learning, as if you might miss something.”Confucius

Asiye eTafuleni is a Non-Profit Organisation which champions Inclusive Urban Planning & Design. This involves empowering the working poor by enabling their ability to participate in co-developing their working environments. We advocate that investment in urban planning and design interventions, and thoroughly consultative and participatory processes, can set a trajectory for meaningful socio-economic development for informal workers operating in public spaces; and an improved urban experience for all.

The vision, objectives and ethos of Asiye eTafuleni largely supports the development of a learning organisation. The purpose of this blog-site is to share our evolving learnings, acquire feedback and hopefully exchange ideas in the realm of inclusive urban planning and design. It is intended that this will contribute to formalising an inclusive approach for relevant professionals to embrace, particularly built environmental professionals and government officials.
