As the world observes Urban October 2025, the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) is reaffirming its commitment to building a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable city through the development of the Main Reef Roodepoort Urban Development Framework (UDF).
Urban October — a global initiative led by UN-Habitat — encourages cities to take collective action toward a better urban future. It begins with World Habitat Day and concludes with World Cities Day on 31 October, reminding us that cities are central to achieving sustainable development goals in the face of rapid urbanisation.
