In 2008 the Johannesburg Development Agency launched the annual Halala Joburg Awards which recognise and honour people, projects and places that strive to improve the quality of life in the Inner City of Johannesburg and ensure that the vibrant heart of Joburg's Inner City built environment continues to provide the steady rhythm of growth and development. While there has been tremendous investment, development and growth in this area in the past 15 years, prior to 2008 little acknowledgement was given to those who had the courage of their convictions to ensure that the Inner City remained a viable destination for investment, regeneration and development, providing a good quality of life for residents and an exciting place to relax and work. For the past two years the JDA, under the auspices of the City of Johannesburg, have awarded this prestigious honour on individuals, developments, projects and programmes with the intention of:
- Encouraging extraordinary effort.
- Recognising exceptional effort that breaks new ground in urban regeneration.
- Advancing sustainable economic growth, community well being and the quality of life of Joburg residents.
- Fostering originality.
- Recognising pioneering programmes and innovative projects initiated by audacious thinkers whose passion has opened new horizons in decaying areas.
- Encouraging participation, equality and inclusivity.
- Recognising commitment and dedication to fostering partnerships, initiating joint programmes.
- Catalysing sustainable developments which promote social harmony
