This includes proactive engagement on societal factors related to gender, race, age and nationality in the Southern African context. 1to1 exists as a facilitator of engagement towards development between informal settlement communities and spatial academics and professionals, classifying its role as ‘spatial design tactician’. 1to1 has been developed to support government bodies, NGO’s and other civil society members as well as the private sector in support of urban upgrade development.
