Revisiting the role of local government in supporting SMME development wrt Tshwane 2055  Ensure service delivery  The most important role that the City has to play to promote its economic development agenda is to provide deliver consistent, high quality services  Leverage mandate of City regulatory environment  Respond to challenges by making use of by-laws to create demand and overcome broader City challenges e.g. climate change  Focus on becoming a globally competitive City  Globally competitive cities encourage social inclusiveness, attract business activity, and generate possibilities for greater economic participation and job creation  Leverage City assets & economic opportunities  Enabling of access to use of productive assets and other infrastructure owned by the City under favourable conditions – investment in economic spaces (e.g. upgrading of less formalized economic spaces)
