| South Africa is characterised by imbalances in the
distribution and management of its resources. The CMA is no exception. Social development
and social justice are crucial preconditions for the achievement and maintenance of peace
and security within the metropole. Social development is also a necessary requirement for
sustainable economic development as well as the optimal use of our physical, natural and
human resources. Conversely, broad-based and sustained economic development is a
prerequisite for social development. These strengthen the CMA’s global
competitiveness, further promoting socio-economic development. Poverty, however, remains a
significant issue that must be addressed. See the various Information sections relating to the Built Environment in Contextual Information.
